Whirr is trying to create the ec2-user on the remote machine and it fails because that user already exists. I have created the following two related JIRA issues: * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-463 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-464 As I said already in a comment my advice is to add: whirr.cluster-user=whirr (to hadoop.properties) and you should be able to login using something like: ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_whirr whirr@remote-host-ip -- Andrei
