[jira] [Commented] (ACE-208) Amazon node launcher should be able to use an existing key pair

["Paul Bakker (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-208?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13161505#comment-13161505 ] 

Paul Bakker commented on ACE-208:
---------------------------------

To use an existing key pair you need to install the private key on the ACE machine and specify the path to this file in the node launcher configuration. I also upgraded the SSH library to jclouds-sshj because this is recommended.

> Now a new key pair is always created for new nodes. This is not always convenient because you need to first save the key pair to ssh to the new machine. Most of the time you already have a key pair for a group of nodes, this should be usable from the node launcher.
> I patched this by adding a "keypair" configuration option. If this new configuration option is omitted the behavior remains the same. If you specify a value, the value is the name of the key pair.
