Wow! It worked!

I just refreshed that table, and it nicely shows the 100 instances launched. Also, checking the command line confirms that everything is as intended:

$ pcluster list
aws-slurm-cluster  CREATE_COMPLETE  2.4.0
$
$ pcluster status aws-slurm-cluster
Status: CREATE_COMPLETE
MasterServer: RUNNING
MasterPublicIP: 3.220.80.129
ClusterUser: ubuntu
MasterPrivateIP: 172.31.27.132

Thank you for your patience on this one! It seems that all was needed all along was to actually give it some time. Your hint was right on spot.

Thank you again. I will now close this issue.
