aws_key_pair
Provides an EC2 key pair resource. A key pair is used to control login access to EC2 instances.
Currently this resource only supports importing an existing key pair, not creating a new key pair.
When importing an existing key pair the public key material may be in any format supported by AWS. Supported formats (per the AWS documentation) are:
- OpenSSH public key format (the format in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys)
- Base64 encoded DER format
- SSH public key file format as specified in RFC4716
