To login to the master node as root, run: $ starcluster sshmaster mycluster If you're having issues with the cluster you can reboot the instances and completely reconfigure the cluster from scratch using: $ starcluster restart mycluster When you're finished using the cluster and wish to terminate it and stop paying for service: $ starcluster terminate mycluster Alternatively, if the cluster uses EBS instances, you can use the 'stop' command to shutdown all nodes and put them into a 'stopped' state preserving the EBS volumes backing the nodes: $ starcluster stop mycluster WARNING: Any data stored in ephemeral storage (usually /mnt) will be lost! You can activate a 'stopped' cluster by passing the -x option to the 'start' command: $ starcluster start -x mycluster This will start all 'stopped' nodes and reconfigure the cluster.
