Managing Key Pairs
Key pairs are used to provision and connect to a cloud instance. A key pair is used to decrypt Windows
passwords or to log in to a Linux machine.
Key pairs are required for provisioning with Amazon AWS. For Red Hat OpenStack, key pairs are
optional.
Existing key pairs are imported as part of data collection when you add a cloud endpoint. A fabric
administrator can also create and manage key pairs by using the vRealize Automation console. If you
delete a key pair from the vRealize Automation console, it is also deleted from the cloud service account.
In addition to managing key pairs manually, you can configure vRealize Automation to generate key pairs
automatically per machine or per business group.
n
A fabric administrator can configure the automatic generation of key pairs at a reservation level.
n
If the key pair is going to be controlled at the blueprint level, the fabric administrator must select Not
Specified on the reservation.
n
A tenant administrator or business group manager can configure the automatic generation of key
pairs at a blueprint level.
n
If key pair generation is configured at both the reservation and blueprint level, the reservation setting
overrides the blueprint setting.
Create a Key Pair
A fabric administrator can create key pairs for use with cloud endpoints by using the vRealize Automation
console.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator.
n
An IaaS administrator must have created a cloud endpoint and added cloud compute resources to a
fabric group.
