Hello and welcome. In this demonstration, I will show you how you can create a console connection. Let's get started. We know that using console connection, we can remotely troubleshoot malfunctioning instances. Let me show you how we can create a console connection. As you can see, I'm logged into those OCI console. I have this particular instance running, demo instance console connection. I'll go to this instance. If I scroll down, under Resources, you can see that there is an option of console connection. Let me click here. There are two options. Launch cloud shell connection, and then the second option is create local connection. Let me first show you how to launch a Cloud Shell connection. Let me click here. The moment you click here, it is automatically going to make a console connection. You don't need to enter any username or any password. Waiting, for instance, console connection to complete transition, current state is creating, and there you go. Now this console connection is as good as you are sitting in front of the machine. You can basically see all the messages that you see on your computer. Now using this instance console connection, you can perform various tasks, such as, you can add or reset the SSH keys for the OPC user, you can edit system configuration files. These tasks require you to boot into a Bash shell in maintenance mode. Let me click on "Reboot", let me click on "Reboot instance", and then you can see that the instance is stopping and you are able to see all the messages. For example, stopped dynamic system tuning demo, and you see power down. I can press "Escape" or "F5." You see that currently it is stopping. Now let me maximize it. I currently have the option to go to the boot manager. These other options, boot manager menu. What I will do is I will just escape, and I can just click on "Continue". Here it says the instance is running, and here you can see the corresponding messages. Started open iSCSI. This was the first thing using cloud shell, how you can create an instance console connection. Let me exit. Let me go to the Console connection. Now let me show you one more thing. If I try to create a local connection, it is first going to give me a message to delete the existing connection. You can only have one console connection open at a time. Now if I return here, last time I created a Cloud Shell connection. That is now deleted. Now let me create a local connection. When you create a local console connection, you must upload a public key file. Let me do that. This is my public key. I'll click on "Create console connection". As you can see, the local console connection is now active. If I click on the "Ellipsis", I get all these options. This time let me go ahead and copy the VNC connection for Windows. I'll copy it. This was the command that I copied. Now the only thing that I will change here is I will change the path for my private key. Here, if you see, this is the home path. Here I will put the path of my private key. It will appear in two places. You have to replace that in two places. That's done. Copy this command. Now, let me open up the PowerShell, paste the command that I copied. Now you can see that this background job is running, and the access has been granted. I can keep it open. After the connection is established, open the VNC client and specify a local host as the host and 5,900 as the port to use. Click on "Continue". There you go. This time we are not using Cloud Shell, rather we are using VNC viewer. This marks the end of this demonstration where I have shown you how you can launch Cloud Shell console connection, as well as create a local connection. Thanks for watching.
