Default Usernames for Cloud Instances
In order to log in to the instances created by way of our Cloud Management Portal, you must use an operating system specific username. For example
$ ssh -i sshkey.pem ubuntu@x.x.x.x
Note that there are no default passwords, with the exception of Cirros which uses 'gocubsgo'. You can use the Password feature in our Cloud Management Portal to change the password for any cloud instance. The password change will take effect for the specific OS user (e.g., ubuntu, etc.).
$ ssh -i sshkey.pem ubuntu@x.x.x.x
| Operating System | Default Username |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu | ubuntu |
| Debian | debian |
| AlmaLinux | almalinux |
| Rocky | rocky |
| Fedora | fedora |
| Cirros | cirros |
| Windows | CloudAdmin |
