Hi Neal:

Welcome!

Take a look inside the .pem with your favorite text editor and you'll see an RSA private key! There's no 'standard' naming convention for private/public key names, so it can be confusing. Happily, it just works. :)

So you can just change your key in the config to:

[key GSG_Keypair]
_LOCATION=/wherever/you/like/GSG_Keypair.pem

And then in the cluster section:

KEYNAME=GSG_Keypair

You can also create keys (and volumes, and AMIs!) with 'starcluster createkey' (or 'starcluster ck'). Check out 'starcluster help'.

Cheers,
-Hugh

Subject: [StarCluster] [newb] keypairs question

I have just installed starcluster:

easy_install --user StarCluster

I filled in AWS INFO section. Now the keypair.

I have:

GSG_Keypair.pem

But it looks like I need:

[key mykey]
KEY_LOCATION=~/.ssh/mykey.rsa

If I generate a new keypair on amazon, I get a new.pem. I assume that's not the same as new.rsa?
