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.

This Keypair will be used for Instance Authorizing Operations 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 AWS regions in EC2

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

To Import your public key

• Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard
• 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)
• In the left-side navigation, under NETWORK & SECURITY click on Key Pairs
• Click on the Import Key Pair button to open an import window. Browse and select the public key (.pub) you just created.
• Click the import button to finish importing the key pair into your current region.
• Add a name for example → red5pro-ssh-key
• Navigate to each other region that you wish to include in autoscaling and repeat steps
