» Resource: aws_lightsail_key_pair

Provides a Lightsail Key Pair, for use with Lightsail Instances. These key pairs are separate from EC2 Key Pairs, and must be created or imported for use with Lightsail.

» Example Usage, creating a new Key Pair

# Create a new Lightsail Key Pair
resource "aws_lightsail_key_pair" "lg_key_pair" {
  name = "lg_key_pair"
}

» Create new Key Pair, encrypting the private key with a PGP Key

resource "aws_lightsail_key_pair" "lg_key_pair" {
  name    = "lg_key_pair"
  pgp_key = "keybase:keybaseusername"
}

» Import an existing public key

resource "aws_lightsail_key_pair" "lg_key_pair" {
  name       = "importing"
  public_key = "${file("~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")}"
}

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Optional) The name of the Lightsail Key Pair. If omitted, a unique name will be generated by Terraform
  • pgp_key – (Optional) An optional PGP key to encrypt the resulting private key material. Only used when creating a new key pair
  • public_key - (Required) The public key material. This public key will be imported into Lightsail

» Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported in addition to the arguments listed above:

  • id - The name used for this key pair
  • arn - The ARN of the Lightsail key pair
  • fingerprint - The MD5 public key fingerprint as specified in section 4 of RFC 4716.
  • public_key - the public key, base64 encoded
  • private_key - the private key, base64 encoded. This is only populated when creating a new key, and when no pgp_key is provided
  • encrypted_private_key – the private key material, base 64 encoded and encrypted with the given pgp_key. This is only populated when creating a new key and pgp_key is supplied
  • encrypted_fingerprint - The MD5 public key fingerprint for the encrypted private key

» Import

Lightsail Key Pairs cannot be imported, because the private and public key are only available on initial creation.
