response = client.upload_ssh_public_key(
    UserName='string',
    SSHPublicKeyBody='string'
)

Parameters

• UserName (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The name of the IAM user to associate the SSH public key with.

  This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

• SSHPublicKeyBody (string) --

  [REQUIRED]

  The SSH public key. The public key must be encoded in ssh-rsa format or PEM format. The minimum bit-length of the public key is 2048 bits. For example, you can generate a 2048-bit key, and the resulting PEM file is 1679 bytes long.

  The regex pattern used to validate this parameter is a string of characters consisting of the following:

  • Any printable ASCII character ranging from the space character ( \u0020 ) through the end of the ASCII character range
  • The printable characters in the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement character set (through \u00FF )
  • The special characters tab ( \u0009 ), line feed ( \u000A ), and carriage return ( \u000D )
