$ sudo service tomcat8 status

• To access the Tomcat web interface, you can open a web browser and navigate to http://your-ec2-public-dns:8080, where your-ec2-public-dns is the public DNS of your EC2 instance. This should display the default Tomcat home page, which indicates that Tomcat is installed and running successfully.

Keep in mind that these instructions are for Tomcat 8. If you want to install a different version of Tomcat, you will need to use a different package name (e.g., tomcat7, tomcat9) in step 2.
