One can easily add a key pair to your own system so that you do not have to keep specifying it with the
-i
switch. For example, I have a dev key for AWS EC2 which I call dev_default.pem
. Every time I would log into an ec2 instance, I would have to specify ssh ubuntu@ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com -i /absolute/path/to/my/key/dev_default.pem
To add the keypair, simply run this command once:
ssh-add /path/to/key.pem
Now you can just log into your instances like so:
ssh ubuntu@ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
