[ aws . ec2 ]
Dec 20, 2011 The AWS console and EC2 API do not let you ask for the public ssh key associated with a keypair. However, EC2 does pass the public ssh key to a new EC2 instance when you run it with a specific keypair. The problem is that we don’t currently have the private key, so we can’t log in to the EC2 instance to get the public key. To generate new access keys, click the Create New Access Key button. After clicking the Create new access key button the screen will appear like the following. Click Show Access Key to have it displayed on the screen. Note, that you can download it to your machine as a file and open it whenever needed. Protecting private key generated for AWS EC2. Ask Question Asked 3 years, 7 months ago.

Generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. Aws ec2 create-key-pair -key-name MyKeyPair. If you created the key pair with a third-party tool and uploaded the public key to AWS, or if you generated a new public key from an existing AWS-created private key and uploaded it to AWS, the fingerprint is calculated using an MD5 hash function.
Login to your AWS Management Console, in EC2 tab view, you'll find something like 1 key Pair, click it, delete your old key pair, then create new pair. Amazon EC2 doesn't keep a copy of your private key; therefore, if you lose a private key, there is no way to recover it. If you lose the private key for an instance store-backed instance, you can't access the instance; you should terminate the instance and launch another instance using a new key pair. If you lose the private key for an EBS.
Description¶
Creates a 2048-bit RSA key pair with the specified name. Amazon EC2 stores the public key and displays the private key for you to save to a file. The private key is returned as an unencrypted PEM encoded PKCS#1 private key. If a key with the specified name already exists, Amazon EC2 returns an error.
You can have up to five thousand key pairs per Region.
The key pair returned to you is available only in the Region in which you create it. If you prefer, you can create your own key pair using a third-party tool and upload it to any Region using ImportKeyPair .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string)Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
