Hi Madeleine, 
By design (ie, for your own benefit), there is no way for anyone but yourself to check on the status of an AWS instance once started. In order to check what happened and if an instance got started, you should log into https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home with the same AWS credentials you used on biocloudcentral.org and check your instance. There, under instance properties, you should also be able to get the public IP of an instance.

This is not the expected behavior of the above portal so if happens again, please let us know again so we can dig a deeper.

Hello,

I recently launched a new instance about 6 minutes ago using BioCloud Central (https://biocloudcentral.herokuapp.com/launch) but did not receive a Public IP address.  I'm not sure if the instance was fully launched.  Here is the Instance and Image ID I received:

Instance ID

i-6789fa01

Image ID (AMI)

ami-500cd139


Can you please verify if an instance is in fact running and what the Public IP address is?

Thank you,

Madeleine
