Create an ED25519 or 2048-bit RSA key pair with a name and in the PEM or PPK format. Amazon EC2 stores the public key and displays the private key for you to save to a file. The private key is returned as an unencrypted PEM encoded PKCS#1 private key, or an unencrypted PPK formatted private key for use with PuTTY. If a key with the same name already exists, Amazon EC2 returns an error.

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.
An unencrypted PEM encoded RSA or ED25519 private key.
The name of the key pair.
Any tags applied to the key pair.
The key of the tag. Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws:.
The value of the tag.
Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.
