After you have set up your keys locally, added your keys to Engine Yard Cloud and installed the keys to your applications environment, you are now ready to connect to your instance(s) using an SSH client.
There are two methods to start an SSH session:
-
Manually start a console session
-
Open Terminal or your preferred SSH client.
-
SSH using your own IP address and username
deploy. For example:ssh deploy@123.123.123.123
-
SSH using your own amazon hostname and username
deploy. For example:ssh deploy@ec2-123-123-123-123.compute-1.amazonaws.com
-
-
Use our automated SSH link
- Go to your dashboard.
- Click an environment you want to connect to.
- Click the SSH link.
- You should receive a prompt to launch an SSH client. Accept this prompt.
Outcome
You should now be connected to an instance via an SSH session.

I failed to connect using instructions on this page. I used passphrase during the creation of my public key.
When I tried to established ssh connection I received following error:
Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.
Permission denied (publickey).
Google pointed to the solution at this blog:

You should do following:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Thanks Karlo - had the same problem.
I was able to connect as follows from Windows 7...
Opened a Git Bash shell using Start -> RailsInstaller -> Git Bash
Then run 'exec ssh-agent bash'
Then run 'ssh-add ~/.ssh/whatever_your_key_name_is'
You will be asked to enter your pass phrase.
Then you should see a message saying 'Identity added ....'
Then run 'ssh deploy@ec2-123-45-678-9.compute-1.amazonaws.com' and I was connected.
