class CfnKeyPair (construct)

Language	Type name
.NET	Amazon.CDK.AWS.EC2.CfnKeyPair
Go	github.com/aws/aws-cdk-go/awscdk/v2/awsec2#CfnKeyPair
Java	software.amazon.awscdk.services.ec2.CfnKeyPair
Python	aws_cdk.aws_ec2.CfnKeyPair
TypeScript	aws-cdk-lib » aws_ec2 » CfnKeyPair

Implements IConstruct, IDependable, IInspectable, ITaggable

Specifies a key pair for use with an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud instance as follows:.

• To import an existing key pair, include the PublicKeyMaterial property.
• To create a new key pair, omit the PublicKeyMaterial property.

When you import an existing key pair, you specify the public key material for the key. We assume that you have the private key material for the key. AWS CloudFormation does not create or return the private key material when you import a key pair.

When you create a new key pair, the private key is saved to AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, using a parameter with the following name: /ec2/keypair/{key_pair_id} . For more information about retrieving private key, and the required permissions, see Create a key pair using AWS CloudFormation in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

When AWS CloudFormation deletes a key pair that was created or imported by a stack, it also deletes the parameter that was used to store the private key material in Parameter Store.

If you created the key pair using Amazon EC2:.

• For RSA key pairs, the key fingerprint is the SHA-1 digest of the DER encoded private key.
• For ED25519 key pairs, the key fingerprint is the base64-encoded SHA-256 digest, which is the default for OpenSSH, starting with OpenSSH 6.8 .

If you imported the key pair to Amazon EC2:

• For RSA key pairs, the key fingerprint is the MD5 public key fingerprint as specified in section 4 of RFC 4716.
• For ED25519 key pairs, the key fingerprint is the base64-encoded SHA-256 digest, which is the default for OpenSSH, starting with OpenSSH 6.8 .

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

• path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

---

addDependency(target)

public addDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

• target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

---

addDependsOn(target)⚠️

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

⚠️ Deprecated: use addDependency

Parameters

• target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

---

addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

• key string
• value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

See also: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

---

addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

• path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
• value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
  "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
    {
      "Projection": {
        "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
        ...
      }
      ...
    },
    {
      "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
      ...
    },
  ]
  ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

---

addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

• propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

---

addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

• propertyPath string — The path of the property.
• value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

---

applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

• policy RemovalPolicy
• options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN). In some cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion (RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT). A list of resources that support this policy can be found in the following link:

---

getAtt(attributeName, typeHint?)

public getAtt(attributeName: string, typeHint?: ResolutionTypeHint): Reference

Parameters

• attributeName string — The name of the attribute.
• typeHint ResolutionTypeHint

Returns

• Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

---

getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

• key string

Returns

• any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

See also: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)
