How to download a PEM file from AWS?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to download a PEM file from AWS?

Answer 1

Here, PEM refers to the format of a file for a key pair in AWS. To download a key pair, you need to create a key pair. You cannot retrieve it again if the file is deleted.

To create a key pair, you can do the following:

1. Log in to AWS, and navigate to EC2

2. Select Network and security in the navigation pane, and enter key pairs

3. Select Create Key Pair

4. Then, select the format of the file (.pem or .ppk)

This will download the files automatically in their respective formats.
