    I suspect the people marking this 1 star did not read the instructions and see the user required is kali not root or ec2-user.

    Does not work. I cannot connect to this instance via SSH. It must be set up incorrectly. Please don't use this Kali instance as it's broken and will not work.

    Kali has given the most issues since I have used it. I tried to install this 2 times and both times it has been very slow on usage so I terminated the instance 2 times now and trying to install a third time.
