1. Open a new terminal tab and cd to the identity-devops repo
2. Run the following command

    bin/awsv sandbox bin/ssm-instance --newest asg-int-idp
   

3. Once the SSM session is established, run the following commands to start a Rails console session:

    cd /srv/idp/current
    sudo -uwebsrv ALLOW_CONSOLE_DB_WRITE_ACCESS=true bin/rails c
