  4. When whirr is finished launching the cluster, you will see an entry under ~/.whirr to verify the cluster is running
  5. cat out the hadoop-proxy.sh command to find the EC2 instance address:
  6. ssh into the instance to verify you can login. Note: this login is different than a normal EC2 instance login. The ssh key is id_rsa and there is no user name for the instance IP address ~/.whirr/mahout:ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa ec2-50-16-85-59.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Where to go from here

It is highly recommended that you read documentation provided by the Hadoop project itself (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.205.0/) Bigtop 0.2 or https://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r1.0.0/ for Bigtop 0.3 and that you browse through the Puppet deployment code that is shipped as part of the Bigtop release (bigtop-deploy/puppet/modules, bigtop-deploy/puppet/manifests).
