that can be provisioned on this reservation.
Only machines that are powered on are counted towards the quota. Leave blank to make the
reservation unlimited.

Specify Amazon AWS with Amazon VPC Key Pairs and Network Settings
Configure the resources and network paths that are available to machines provisioned by using this
reservation.
Prerequisites
Specify Amazon AWS with Amazon VPC Reservation Information.
Procedure
1 Click the Resources tab.
2 Select a method of assigning key pairs to compute instances from the Key pair drop-down menu.
Option Description
Not Specified Controls key pair behavior at the blueprint level rather than the reservation level.
Auto-Generated per Business Group Every machine provisioned in the same business group has the same key pair,
including machines provisioned on other reservations when the machine has the
same compute resource and business group. Because key pairs generated this
way are associated with a business group, the key pairs are deleted when the
business group is deleted.
Auto-Generated per Machine Each machine has a unique key pair. This is the most secure method because no
key pairs are shared among machines.
Specific Key Pair Every machine provisioned on this reservation has the same key pair. Browse for
a key pair to use for this reservation.
