Key pairs are a crucial part of securing your instances. They consist of a public key that AWS stores and a private key file that you store. The private key file is used to SSH into your instances securely.

Use the following steps to create a keypair

Navigate to the Key pairs page on the Amazon EC2 console.

Key pair aws

Provide a unique name for your key pair, such as: MetagraphKeyPair

Your screen should now look similar to this:

After you click Create key pair, a new key pair will be generated, and your browser will automatically download a file that contains your private key.

important

Safeguard this file as it will be necessary for SSH access to your instances. Do not share this file or expose it publicly as it could compromise the security of your instances.

Store your keypair on your local machine in a secure location. You will need it to connect to your EC2 instances.

Click on Create key pair

Key pair aws
