Hi Team,

I am new to the Boto3 module. I want to create a key pair in AWS. How can I do that with boto3?

Hi@akhtar,

You need to create a 2048-bit RSA key pair with the specified name. Amazon EC2 stores the public key and displays the private key for you to save to a file. The private key is returned as an unencrypted PEM encoded PKCS#8 private key. If a key with the specified name already exists, Amazon EC2 returns an error.

import boto3
ec2 = boto3.client('ec2')
response = ec2.create_key_pair(KeyName='KEY_PAIR_NAME')
print(response)
