Walkthrough progress

Step 1 of 6 • 2 minutes

Step 1 2 minutes

Get your login link

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

Expected outcome

  • CloudFormation stack shows CREATE_COMPLETE status
  • You have copied the MinuteLoginUrl from the Outputs tab
  • 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 login link

  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 your login link

    MinuteLoginUrl: Your one-click login link. Paste it into a new browser tab to start a Minute AI session.
    https://[random-id].cloudfront.net/?key=[token]

    The link sets a 7-day session cookie on first use, so you only need to open it once per week.

    Also in the Outputs tab: MinuteUrl (the bare URL, works after the session cookie is set) and MinuteAuthToken (the raw token, in case you need to rebuild the link manually).

Tip: If you deployed from the NDX:Try scenario page, the login link 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
