SSH or RDP into Linux-based Container?

Hi, we're evaluating using Linux-based containers with Thunderhead. Is it possible to either SSH or use something other than the provided RDP credentials to log in remotely?

When attempting to connect via RDP (which I don't think is supported in Linux?), Remote Desktop gives a protocol error. There are a few things we wanted to figure out by logging in to the container remotely, namely: CPU and Memory usage per-instance and the location of the GSDK logs (C:\GameLogs\ on Windows-based containers) so we can include our server engine's logs.

I've been able to deduce that in linux, the GSDK outputs logs to /data/GameLogs/. However, for SSH, I suppose I could enable SSH inside the container and forward the port myself, but would that even be allowed by PlayFab (as it could possibly pose a risk having SSH enabled)?

@Brandon Phillips, the RDP creds that you see are actually SSH creds. You can use PUTTY or some other ssh client and put the IP, port (using ssh) along with the username and password. For Windows those are the RDP logins, for linux, the creds are used over ssh.

Ah that makes sense. I probably should have attempted that before making this thread. Thanks!
