Generate Privte Key Aws Ec2

AWS - EC2 - Change PEM Key
| 1. From the AWS EC2 Console go to 'Key Pairs' and generate a new key pair (eg: NewKey.pem); Download the generated pem key, and chmod it to 0666 |
| 2. Use the new pem key to generate a public key |
| $ ssh-keygen -y |
| When prompted, enter the path to NewKey.pem. This will generate NewKey.pub |
| Tip: Edit NewKey.pub and append the key's name so you can identify it easier in the next steps. |
| Just append a single space, then a tag/name for the key |
| 3. Add the new public key to your instance |
| $ cat NewKey.pub ssh -i OriginalKey.pem user@amazon-instance 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys' |
| 4. Test the new key by logging in and removing the old/original key |
| $ ssh -i NewKey.pem user@amazon-instance |
| $ nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys |
| Find the line containing the 'original' key and remove it. |
PuTTY needs my AWS private key when it connects to my EC2 machine. Pageant is a time saver: I can log into my machine many times during the day without typing my passphrase. A login key pair that you can use to log in to EC2 instances that have been started by Bamboo. The key pair is automatically generated, either the first time you use Elastic Bamboo, or if you delete the key pair. The key pair is listed as 'elasticbamboo' in your AWS console. Bamboo does not use this key pair. The AWS private key file.

how to create an access key ID for a new IAM user
I need an AWS access key to allow a program, script, or developer to have programmatic access to the resources on my AWS account. How do I create a new access key?
An access key grants programmatic access to your resources. This means that the access key should be guarded as carefully as the AWS account root user sign-in credentials.
It's a best practice to do the following:
- Create an IAM user and then define that user's permissions as narrowly as possible.
- Create the access key under that IAM user.
For more information, see What are some best practices for securing my AWS account and its resources?
