[ aws . ec2 ]
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.
Creating an SSH Key Pair for User Authentication. The simplest way to generate a key pair is to run ssh-keygen without arguments. In this case, it will prompt for the file in which to store keys. Here's an example: klar (11:39) ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. I'm using a custom CloudFormation resource to generate an EC2 keypair for an automated install. I'm trying to remove as many manual steps as possible for a highly-automated server setup. I want to manage the my AWS environment using PowerShell. We are getting access through IAM roles. I am facing trouble to generate the Access key & secret key for my IAM role. Can someone guide.

Create a new key pair and save the private key file. You can create a key pair using the console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell. For more information, see Creating a Key Pair Using Amazon EC2. Note: To give the new key pair the same name as the lost key pair, you must first delete the lost key pair.
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 .
For more information, see Key Pairs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

--dry-run--no-dry-run (boolean)
--cli-input-json (string)Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--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.
