!!Creating the em Provisioning Key Pair


Go to the EC2 console.

Left tab -> Network and Security -> Key Pairs -> Create Key Pair

The key is created and the file containing the private key is automatically downloaded by your browser. The base file name is the name you specified as the name of your key pair, and the file name extension is .pem. Save the private key file in a safe place.

I usually store security stuff under /Volumes/base/NovaOrdis/Engineering.
