Create and download an AWS ec2 keypair using python boto

Question

我很难找到一种方法（如果可能的话）用Python Boto库创建一个新的AWS密钥对，然后下载该密钥对。

Answer 1

The Key object returned by the create_keypair method in boto has a "save" method. So, basically you can do something like this:

>>> import boto
>>> ec2 = boto.connect_ec2()
>>> key = ec2.create_key_pair('mynewkey')
>>> key.save('/path/to/keypair/dir')

If you want a more detailed example, check out https://github.com/garnaat/paws/blob/master/ec2_launch_instance.py .

Does that help? If not, provide some specifics about the problems you are encountering.

Answer 2

Same for Boto 3 :

ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')

keypair_name = 'my_key'


new_keypair = ec2.create_key_pair(KeyName=keypair_name)

with open('./my_key.pem', 'w') as file:
    file.write(new_keypair.key_material)

print(new_keypair.key_fingerprint)
