Working with key pairs for EC2-compatible instances in Amazon OpsHub

When you launch an Amazon EC2-compatible instance and intend to connect to it using SSH, you have to provide a key pair. You can use Amazon EC2 to create a new key pair, or you can import an existing key pair or manage your key pairs.

To create, import, or manage key pairs

  1. Open Compute on the Amazon OpsHub dashboard.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose the Compute (EC2) page, and then choose the Key Pairs tab. You are redirected to the Amazon EC2 console where you can create, import, or manage your key pairs.

  3. For instructions on how to create and import key pairs, see Amazon EC2 key pairs and Linux instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
