Getting Started
To get started with the load balancer login to the web interface on https://{ instance-public-ip}:9443. The load balancer generates a new self signed certificate on boot. If you see a warning about this it is safe to proceed.
You will be prompted to login, the username is loadbalancer and the password is the generated password shown on the deploy page.
You are now logged into the load balancer and can start the configuration. For help with a specific application you may wish to look at one of our deployment guides.
