Creating a Key Pair

A key pair ensures that only you have access to your instances. You can create one or more Amazon EC2 key pairs. You can use a key pair to SSH to your instance.

1. From the Console Home, click Services.

2. Click All services.

3. Search for EC2.

4. Open the EC2 Dashboard. 

5.  On the EC2 Dashboard, under the Resources heading, click Key pairs.

6. In the Key pairs page, click Create key pair.

7. Enter the necessary information and click Create key pair.

8. Your key pair will be downloaded to your local system.

   Note:

   You will need to remember the location of the downloaded key pair on your local system should you need to create an SSH connection to your MarkLogic Server instance, as described in Accessing an EC2 Instance.
