Cloud nodes don't progress beyond "submitted" stage

[brandon_hazelton]

[ FlexSim 23.0.2 ]

After following this walk-through along with some information from this seemingly old procedure. I have ended up in a state where the experiments that I set to run on distributed cloud nodes reach the "Submitted" stage but never progress beyond that. I have allowed them to wait in that state for at most 10 minutes with no change. Do you have any ideas of what I could do to debug this?

I am using AWS with an EC2 instance that has 2vCPUs, 4GB RAM, and is running Windows Server 2022. Due to the low RAM amount, I entered "1" for the CPUs field in my local FlexSim setup in order to abide by the minimum/recommended requirements called out in Distributed experiments or optimizations.

Additionally, I seem to get this error in the System Console every few tries. Unsure if it is related.
