Q1. What, exactly, are they intented to do?

Q2. How are they meant to be controlled?
- is there an Administrator password?
- is there a web-interface on some port?

Do you have a web server configured with the WebPagetest code on it? The EC2 instances are just test agents for running tests and they need to connect to a web server for getting work and posting results.

You configure it using the user data string when you start up the instance (the web server and location are critical, otherwise it won't do anything).

We're planning on creating an EBS-backed image of the web server as well at some point but for right now all we have set up are images of the testers (so you can spawn the test agents up as needed and wherever needed).

PM me if you still need the administrator password to RDP in and poke around.

Thanks,
