KeyPair

class aws_cdk.aws_ec2.KeyPair(scope, id, *, format=None, key_pair_name=None, public_key_material=None, type=None, account=None, environment_from_arn=None, physical_name=None, region=None)

Bases: Resource

An EC2 Key Pair.

Resource:

AWS::EC2::KeyPair

ExampleMetadata:

infused

Example:

key_pair = ec2.KeyPair.from_key_pair_attributes(self, "KeyPair",
    key_pair_name="the-keypair-name",
    type=ec2.KeyPairType.RSA
)
Parameters:
  • scope (Construct) –

  • id (str) –

  • format (Optional[KeyPairFormat]) – The format of the key pair. Default: PEM

  • key_pair_name (Optional[str]) – A unique name for the key pair. Default: A generated name

  • public_key_material (Optional[str]) – The public key material. If this is provided the key is considered “imported”. For imported keys, it is assumed that you already have the private key material so the private key material will not be returned or stored in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Default: a public and private key will be generated

  • type (Optional[KeyPairType]) – The type of key pair. Default: RSA (ignored if keyMaterial is provided)

  • account (Optional[str]) – The AWS account ID this resource belongs to. Default: - the resource is in the same account as the stack it belongs to

  • environment_from_arn (Optional[str]) – ARN to deduce region and account from. The ARN is parsed and the account and region are taken from the ARN. This should be used for imported resources. Cannot be supplied together with either account or region. Default: - take environment from account, region parameters, or use Stack environment.

  • physical_name (Optional[str]) – The value passed in by users to the physical name prop of the resource. - undefined implies that a physical name will be allocated by CloudFormation during deployment. - a concrete value implies a specific physical name - PhysicalName.GENERATE_IF_NEEDED is a marker that indicates that a physical will only be generated by the CDK if it is needed for cross-environment references. Otherwise, it will be allocated by CloudFormation. Default: - The physical name will be allocated by CloudFormation at deployment time

  • region (Optional[str]) – The AWS region this resource belongs to. Default: - the resource is in the same region as the stack it belongs to

Methods

apply_removal_policy(policy)

Apply the given removal policy to this resource.

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).

Parameters:

policy (RemovalPolicy) –

Return type:

None

to_string()

Returns a string representation of this construct.

Return type:

str

Attributes

env

The environment this resource belongs to.

For resources that are created and managed by the CDK (generally, those created by creating new class instances like Role, Bucket, etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to; however, for imported resources (those obtained from static methods like fromRoleArn, fromBucketName, etc.), that might be different than the stack they were imported into.

format

The format of the key pair.

has_imported_material

Whether the key material was imported.

Keys with imported material do not have their private key material stored or returned automatically.

key_pair_fingerprint

The fingerprint of the key pair.

Attribute:

true

key_pair_id

The unique ID of the key pair.

Attribute:

true

key_pair_name

The unique name of the key pair.

Attribute:

true

node

The tree node.

private_key

The Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter with the pair’s private key material.

stack

The stack in which this resource is defined.

type

The type of the key pair.

Static Methods

classmethod from_key_pair_attributes(scope, id, *, key_pair_name, type=None)

Imports a key pair with a name and optional type.

Parameters:
  • scope (Construct) –

  • id (str) –

  • key_pair_name (str) – The unique name of the key pair.

  • type (Optional[KeyPairType]) – The type of the key pair. Default: no type specified

Return type:

IKeyPair

classmethod from_key_pair_name(scope, id, key_pair_name)

Imports a key pair based on the name.

Parameters:
  • scope (Construct) –

  • id (str) –

  • key_pair_name (str) –

Return type:

IKeyPair

classmethod is_construct(x)

Checks if x is a construct.

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Parameters:

x (Any) – Any object.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.

classmethod is_owned_resource(construct)

Returns true if the construct was created by CDK, and false otherwise.

Parameters:

construct (IConstruct) –

Return type:

bool

classmethod is_resource(construct)

Check whether the given construct is a Resource.

Parameters:

construct (IConstruct) –

Return type:

bool
