Make sure you have direct SSH access into the root user of the target node.

1. After the deployment process is complete, you can access OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards with the username and the password that you set for the admin_password variable.

   If you bind ip to a private IP or localhost, make sure you’re logged into the server that deployed the playbook to access OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards:

   If you bind ip to 0.0.0.0, then replace with the public IP or the private IP (if it’s in the same network).
