I am looking to replace my lost AWS Key Pair. I have searched near and far, youtube clips, resources articles on AWS, and others. Yet I am nowhere near where I need to be.
Please can someone steer me in the proper direction? I would appreciate your assistance as I have an instance already running.
To replace a lost key pair, you can use the AWS Systems Manager AWSSupport-ResetAccess Automation document. Or, you can create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of the existing instance, launch a new instance, and then select a new key pair.

Hoe to use AWSSupport-ResetAccess
This runbook will use the EC2Rescue tool on the specified EC2 instance to re-enable password decryption using the EC2 Console (Windows) or to generate and add a new SSH key pair (Linux). If you lost your key pair, this automation will create a password-enabled AMI that you can use to launch a new EC2 instance with a key pair you own (Windows).
