This Keypair will be used for Instance Authorizing Operations Across All Regions

Amazon EC2 key pairs are region-specific, so you will need to manually create an SSH2-RSA key pair to be used by the stream manager across all regions.

Generate Your SSH2-RSA Key Pair:

On Mac/Linux:

• Open Terminal
• Type: ssh-keygen -t rsa
• Accept the default path and modify the file name if you wish (Enter file in which to save the key (~/.ssh/id_dsa)
• Enter a passphrase and confirm (make sure this is SECURE, and noted somewhere for future reference)
• Private and public keys will be generated

On Windows:

• Download and run PuTTYgen
• Click on the “Generate” button and follow the instructions displayed to help PuTTYgen generate your private-public key pair.
• Once PuTTYgen finishes generating keys it will display the public key and other details in the application window.
• Enter a passphrase and confirm. (make sure this is SECURE, and noted somewhere for future reference)
• Click “Save public key” and save the key with a filename (ex: red5pro_node) on your file system in a secure location (or a common standard folder such as ~/.ssh/ under your user profile). Provide an extension of .pub to the file (public key).
• Click “Save private key” and save the key with the same filename as the public key (ex: red5pro_node) on your file system in a secure location (or a common standard folder such as ~/.ssh/ under your user profile). Provide an extension of .ppk to the file (private key).

Import Public Key to EC2 Regions:

Note: you will need to repeat this process in every region you wish to include in your autoscaling solution.

To Import your public key:

1. Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard
2. Copy your public key to a non-hidden directory (you will not be able to find the .ssh directory in the browse to import step)
3. In the left-side navigation, under NETWORK & SECURITY click on Key Pairs
4. Click on the Import Key Pair button to open an import window. Browse and select the public key (.pub) you just created.
5. Click the import button to finish importing the key pair into your current region.
6. Navigate to each other region that you wish to include in autoscaling and repeat steps 3-5
