AWS Key Pair

When configuring GigaVUE-FM and GigaVUE fabric componentsin AWS, you'll need to specify the defined key pair. A key pair, consisting of a public key and a private key, is a set of security credentials that you use to prove your identity when connecting to an Amazon EC2 instance.

When you define the specifications for the UCT-V Controllers, GigaVUE V Series Nodes, and GigaVUE V Series Proxy in your VPC, you must create a key pair and specify the name of this key pair.

Important considerations for a successful deployment:

• The key pair is crucial for securely accessing your Gigamon instances in AWS.
• Keep the private key file safe, as it is required to connect to the instances.
• You cannot recover the private key if lost; you will have to create a new key pair.
• Key pairs are region-specific in AWS

To create a key pair in AWS, refer to Create a key pair for your Amazon EC2 instance section in AWS Documentation for more detailed instruction on how to create a key pair.
