how to access ec2 instance from gateway?

Question

I'm a 3D artist, try to build a Blender renderfarm via Thinbox Deadline aws. When I try to render, deadline said that it can't found blender on the machine. I succeded to connect to the gateway via keypair from deadline. but eventhough I have access to gateway, I can not connect to the instance. so I can not install blender on the machine. I can't find the key pair for the machine because deadline make it automatically. is there any documentation I can follow to setup blender renderfarm on aws or solution to access the ec2 machine?

There are a few steps you can take to set up a Blender render farm on AWS:

*     Spin up a number of EC2 instances that will be used as render nodes. These instances should have the appropriate amount of CPU, RAM, and GPU resources to handle your rendering workload.
*     Install Blender on each of the instances.
*     Set up a shared storage solution, such as Amazon S3 or EFS, where the render nodes can access the source files and output the rendered frames.
*     Install a render manager, such as Deadline or Tractor, that can distribute the render tasks across the instances and manage the render queue.
*     Configure the render manager to point to the shared storage location and the Blender executable on the instances.
*     Optionally, set up a load balancer to distribute incoming render jobs to the render nodes.

To access the EC2 machine, you can use the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or an SDK. Additionally, you can use the SSH protocol to remotely access the instances via the command line.
