How to configure Bitnami WordPress AWS key pair?

Basically 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.

Today, let us see the steps followed by our Support techs.

Obtain SSH credentials from the AWS Console

If you are using the AWS console, you have either created and downloaded an SSH key pair or uploaded one the first time you deployed a server. Check the following sections to know where the SSH keys can be created or uploaded on the AWS console:

• Firstly, log in to the AWS Cloud Console.
• Then, select the “Compute -> EC2” option.
• If required, use the region selector in the top right corner to switch to the region where your instance was launched.
• In the left navigation bar, click the “Network & Security -> Key Pairs” menu item.
• In the resulting page, you will see a list of the Key Pairs that are already uploaded to the console and available to use when launching an instance.
• From this screen you can also create a new Key Pair that you can download later.
• Or import one from your computer

Obtain SSH credentials from the Bitnami Launchpad

The Bitnami Launchpad for AWS Cloud automatically injects an auto-generated public SSH key for the bitnami user and allows the user to download the private SSH key. To do so, follow these steps:

• Browse to the Bitnami Launchpad for AWS Cloud and sign in if required using your Bitnami account.
• Select the “Virtual Machines” menu item.
• Select your cloud server from the resulting list.
• Download the SSH key for your server (.pem for Linux and Mac OS X,.ppk for Windows). Note the server IP address on the same page.
