Step 1 of 6 • 2 minutes

Step 1 2 minutes

Get your credentials

Navigate to CloudFormation in the AWS Console and copy your Minute AI URL and login credentials.

Expected outcome

  • CloudFormation stack shows CREATE_COMPLETE status
  • You have copied the MinuteUrl, BasicAuthUsername, and BasicAuthPassword
  • You know the CloudWatch Logs URL for monitoring

Navigating to CloudFormation

From the AWS Console homepage, find CloudFormation in the "Recently visited" section or by searching for "CloudFormation" in the search bar.

Finding your credentials

  1. Open the CloudFormation console

    Go to CloudFormation console in us-east-1 (N. Virginia) (opens in new tab)

  2. Find your stack

    Look for a stack named MinuteStack or starting with ndx-try-minute

    The status should be CREATE_COMPLETE

    Warning If the status shows CREATE_IN_PROGRESS, the deployment is still running. This scenario takes 25 to 35 minutes to deploy fully.

    This is normal. Minute AI provisions an Aurora PostgreSQL database, ECS Fargate services, and a CloudFront distribution. While you wait, watch the Events tab to see resources being created in real-time.

  3. Go to the "Outputs" tab

    Click on your stack name, then select the "Outputs" tab

  4. Copy these three values

    MinuteUrl: The URL to access Minute AI
    https://[random-id].cloudfront.net

    BasicAuthUsername: The username for login

    BasicAuthPassword: Auto-generated secure password

Tip: If you deployed from the NDX:Try scenario page, your credentials may also be shown in the Credentials Card on that page.

Troubleshooting: Stack still in progress

If the stack shows CREATE_IN_PROGRESS:

  • The Aurora PostgreSQL database takes approximately 10 minutes to create
  • The CloudFront distribution takes approximately 5 minutes to create
  • Watch the Events tab for progress updates
  • Total deployment time is typically 25 to 35 minutes
