# Connecting to your instances
 | 
			
		||||
Before you can use the Spearhead Cloud you must create and account and provide your billing details.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
SSH is the primary way to access your containers or vm's with the exception of Docker containers and Windows VM's. You must have the Spearhead CLI Tools installed.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Connecting to Docker containers
 | 
			
		||||
You can connect to your Docker container as usual, executing ```spearhead-docker --tls exec -it <container name or id> bash``` which would give you shell access into your running container.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
It may be tempting to run SSH within your container, however we do not recommend this method.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Connecting to containers or virtual machines
 | 
			
		||||
Connect to your running containers (or virtual machines) by executing ```spearhead ssh <short id or instance name>```. Alternatively (or in case this does not work for your environment) you can obtain the IP address of your instance (```spearhead instance get <short-id or name>``) and SSH directly (```ssh root@x.x.x.x```).

		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Connecting to Windows instances
 | 
			
		||||
All windows instances are preconfigured with RDP access enabled for the Administrator account. Obtain the IP address of your instance and then connect using your preferred RDP client.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```spearhead instance get <short-id or name>``` and look for the primaryIP field.
