### Describe the problem and improvement.
When reviewing the AWS AMI self hosting documentation, it lacks specific instructions on how to SSH into the server:
- how to use the keypair generated for the EC2 instance
- which username to use in the SSH command (some AWS users might assume `ec2-user` if they've only used Amazon Linux)
Additionally, notes on security groups are sparse and may lead users to leave port `22` open to the internet.
I'd suggest the following changes:
- instructions on how to use the SSH keypair generated for Appsmith
- example of the SSH command used (includes using alternate private key, correct username)
- give example of security group rule for SSH access, limited to a single IP address
