Creating a Key Pair

Context

Create a key pair before you create a container cluster. Key pairs are used for user identity authentication upon login to a worker node.

If you have already created a key pair, you do not need to create it again.

Procedure

1. On the management console, click Service List, and choose Compute > Elastic Cloud Server to go to the ECS console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Key Pair.
3. Click Create Key Pair and create a key pair as prompted.
4. After the creation is complete, a key file in the .pem format is generated and automatically saved to the default directory on your local computer.
