EC2 Key Pairs

Prior to starting your CloudyCluster setup, you must create an AWS account if you do not already have one. You must also first create your security key pairs on Amazon Web Services. Once you have created your key pairs, they will be available for selection in the CloudyCluster setup interface because your CloudyCluster account is connected to your AWS account. For instructions on creating your key pairs, see Amazon EC2 Key Pairs in the AWS documentation.

If a key pair is lost, you can delete the key pair and then create a new key pair, but any existing EC2 instance using the original key pair will be inaccessible.
