Mar 07, 2016 Use roles for applications that run on Amazon EC2 instances. Using EC2 roles is the best way to provide access to your AWS infrastructure’s access via APIs. This will also ensure automatic key rotation. Rotate credentials regularly. If there is an EC2 Access Key and Security Key attached to any IAM user, it is recommended to periodically rotate it. To change the key pair, create an AMI of the existing instance, and then launch a new instance. You can then select a new key pair by following the instance launch wizard.
[ 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.
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 .

Synopsis¶
Options¶
--key-name (string)
Adobe photoshop cs5 extended mac key generator. A unique name for the key pair.
Constraints: Up to 255 ASCII characters
--dry-run--no-dry-run (boolean)
Generating Key Pair Aws Iam Code
--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.
See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.
Examples¶
To create a key pair
This example creates a key pair named MyKeyPair.
Command:
The output is an ASCII version of the private key and key fingerprint. You need to save the key to a file.
