> Support for EC2 create keypair functionality
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: LIBCLOUD-57
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-57
> Project: Libcloud
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Grig Gheorghiu
> Attachments: ec2_create_keypair.patch
>
>
> EC2 nodes launched via libcloud are useful only if they have an EC2 keypair
> associated with them, otherwise there is no way to actually ssh into the
> newly created node (unless you perform bootstrap actions via user data). The
> attached patch adds an ex_create_keypair method to the EC2NodeDriver class.
> This method takes a keypair name as its argument, and creates a new keypair,
> then returns the private key material (to be saved into a file by the caller
> of the method) and the keypair fingerprint.
> If this is deemed useful, I will add another method for importing an existing
> keypair into EC2 (this API was recently added to the AWS EC2 API).
