amazon web services - Private Key Error in AWS EC2 Tools -
i'm getting following error when run describe region
command. i'm in ubuntu 12.04
$ ec2-describe-regions required option '-k, --private-key key' missing.
i have setup following lines
$ export ec2_home=<path-to-tools> $ export path=$path:$ec2_home/bin $ export aws_access_key=your-aws-access-key $ export aws_secret_key=your-aws-secret-key
can please me?
the option -k, --private-key key
1 of deprecated options, see common options cli tools:
for limited time, can still use private key , x.509 certificate instead of access key id , secret access key. however, recommend start using access key id (-o, --aws-access-key) , secret access key (-w, --aws-secret-key) now, private key (-k, --private-key) , x.509 certificate (-c, --cert) won't supported after transition period elapses. more information, see tell tools are.
i highly recommend follow advise , use your access key id (-o, --aws-access-key) , secret access key (-w, --aws-secret-key) going forward - after all, have them available ;)
accordingly, might able use -o
, -w
explicitly, error indicates using outdated version of amazon ec2 api tools , might need update in order them automatically pick environment variables aws_access_key
, aws_secret_key
explained , advertized in tell cli tools are.
alternative
aws establishing aws command line interface a unified tool manage aws services, presumably going replace various command line tools per service still available on tools amazon web services hub. while still classified developer preview, works quite , makes entire aws usage more streamlined , versatile, , more discoverable, because supporting command completion example.
