Generating Ssh Key Aws S3

 

[ aws . iam ]

To generate new access keys, click the Create New Access Key button. After clicking the Create new access key button the screen will appear like the following. Click Show Access Key to have it displayed on the screen. Note, that you can download it to your machine as a file and open it whenever needed. I’d suggest generating an ssh keypair (using whatever tool you prefer, eg ssh-keygen), uploading that to the AWS Console and then providing it as a Parameter to your template. It’s possible to automate the key generation using a custom resource (eg, see here) but perhaps start simple for now.

Description¶

Retrieves the specified SSH public key, including metadata about the key.

The SSH public key retrieved by this operation is used only for authenticating the associated IAM user to an AWS CodeCommit repository. For more information about using SSH keys to authenticate to an AWS CodeCommit repository, see Set up AWS CodeCommit for SSH Connections in the AWS CodeCommit User Guide .

This cheat sheet style guide provides a quick reference to OpenSSL commands that are useful in common, everyday scenarios. IntroductionOpenSSL is a versatile command line tool that can be used for a large variety of tasks related to Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and HTTPS (HTTP over TLS). This includes OpenSSL examples of generating private keys, certificate signing requests, and certificate format conversion. Generate private key from crt file openssl.

Synopsis¶

Options¶

--user-name (string)

The name of the IAM user associated with the SSH public key.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

--ssh-public-key-id (string)

The unique identifier for the SSH public key.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters that can consist of any upper or lowercased letter or digit.

--encoding (string)

Specifies the public key encoding format to use in the response. To retrieve the public key in ssh-rsa format, use SSH . To retrieve the public key in PEM format, use PEM .

Possible values:

  • SSH
  • PEM

--cli-input-json (string)Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string)Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Example 1: To retrieve an SSH public key attached to an IAM user in SSH encoded form

The following get-ssh-public-key command retrieves the specified SSH public key from the IAM user sofia. The output is in SSH encoding.

Output:

Example 2: To retrieve an SSH public key attached to an IAM user in PEM encoded form

The following get-ssh-public-key command retrieves the specified SSH public key from the IAM user 'sofia'. The output is in PEM encoding.

Output:
