Get a key pair for a secure ssh or sftp connection to your EC2 instance

To have a secure connection, you must agree on a key pair with Amazon services. They will create a pair and give you your private key to download. Keep it in a secure place. Everything is based on this.

Path

• -> EC2 Dashboard
• -> Key Pairs
• -> Create Key Pair
• -> (give it a name) -> Create
• -> download your private key as myKeyName.pem . This file will be used like a password, keep it secret.
