key_pair

Table to manage keypairs for EC2 instances. A key pair, consisting of a public key and a private key, is a set of security credentials that you use to prove your identity when connecting to an Amazon EC2 instance.

Amazon EC2 stores the public key on your instance, and you store the private key.

Keys can only be listed and deleted. The keypairs can be created using key_pair_request and key_pair_import methods.
