A key pair is a set of security credentials used to prove user identity when connecting to a service instance.

The private key is required to obtain the password used to log into your service instance. This functionality enables basic virtual machine (VM) connectivity.
In this current release, customers can enable VM connectivity by downloading a private key file from the provisioned Amazon Web Services (AWS) service instance in inventory.
