Workflows

rotate-key-pair
Replace an existing SSH key pair with a freshly created one.
Chains DescribeKeyPairs, CreateKeyPair, and DeleteKeyPair so the new key is in place before the old key is removed.
3 steps inputs: newKeyName, oldKeyName outputs: createStatus, deleteStatus
1
verifyOldKey
describeKeyPairs
Confirm the existing key pair is present before rotating.
2
createNewKey
createKeyPair
Create the replacement key pair.
3
deleteOldKey
deleteKeyPair
Delete the retired key pair now that its replacement exists.

  title: Amazon EC2 Rotate Key Pair
  summary: Verify a key pair exists, create its replacement, then delete the old key pair.
  description: >-
    Rotates an SSH key pair without leaving a gap in coverage. The workflow
    confirms the existing key pair is present, creates a new replacement key
    pair, and only then deletes the old key pair. Every step spells out its
    request inline using the Amazon EC2 query protocol (Action and Version
    parameters) so the flow can be read and executed without opening the
    underlying OpenAPI description.
