We have built a dashboard and a CLI that lets you know what is installed and notifies you about available upgrades to implement a more proactive approach.

Where is my cloud app?
To reach your application on AWS: After deployment, click on the EC2 Console link. A new tab will open. Your IP is under the “Public IP” field; click it to complete the installation. To reach your application on Azure:  After a successful deployment, go to the essentials section and click on the Public IP Address on the right-hand side of the screen.
How much should I pay when the EC2 instance is turned off? I don’t need the instance running 24×7.
You pay only for the hours that the machine is up and running. If you plan to reboot the machine frequently, we recommend you use an elastic IP so your IP does not change constantly. This tends to confuse users and creates an edge case in the instance configuration that night eventually breaks it. Using an elastic IP is also a good first step towards using an organized domain to host the instance (instead of a Hossted domain).
