A key pair consists of public and private keys used to connect to an EC2 instance. In this video, create a key pair for the Jenkins master server.
- [Instructor] A key pair is part of a cryptographic system…that we'll use to connect to our EC2 instances.…When we create an instance, we'll specify a key pair.…The public key will be attached to the instance,…and the private key will be stored on our local system.…We should be the only ones that have access to it.…We'll use the private key on our local system…to connect to the instance via secure shell or SSH.…The private key will allow us…to connect to the default user on the instance…without having to specify a password.…
Since the key which is essentially a file is the only way…to connect to the server.…It's important to protect it and keep it safe and secure.…In the AWS console,…we want to go to the EC2 dashboard,…and make a note of the region that you're working in.…Again, I'm working in the US West two region,…where I want my resources to be created.…In the sidebar under network and security,…there's a link for key pairs.…If you already have key pairs,…you'll see a list of them on the screen,…or if you're working with a new account like I am,…
