import_key_pair

EC2.ServiceResource.import_key_pair(**kwargs)

Imports the public key from an RSA or ED25519 key pair that you created using a third-party tool. You give Amazon Web Services only the public key. The private key is never transferred between you and Amazon Web Services.

For more information about the requirements for importing a key pair, see Create a key pair and import the public key to Amazon EC2 in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Parameters:

• TagSpecifications (list) –

  The tags to apply to the imported key pair.

  • (dict) –

    The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.

    Note

    The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you’re using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you’re using, you’ll get an error.

    • ResourceType (string) –

      The type of resource to tag on creation.

    • Tags (list) –

      The tags to apply to the resource.

      • (dict) –

        Describes a tag.

        • Key (string) –

          The key of the tag.

          Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws:.

        • Value (string) –

          The value of the tag.

          Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.

• DryRun (boolean) – Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

• KeyName (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  A unique name for the key pair.

• PublicKeyMaterial (bytes) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The public key.

Return type:

ec2.KeyPairInfo

Returns:
