How to get public key using KeyPair in EC2?
Nirmal Fernando
Is there a way to retrieve public key from an EC2 KeyPair? I can't see any operation in the API at [1]. But in Openstack KeyPair API [2], we have a way to get the public key.
Shouldn't there be a higher level interface common to all IaaSes? Are there IaaS providers who don't allow key pairs?

I think the only thing portable would be to get the key signature. There's a utility called SshKeys that can help. I agree we can make a portable SshKeyExtension, present on many clouds probably half of them. Something you can help with?

Let's see.. so in ec2, KeyPairClient.getKeyPair gives you the sha1 or the ssh fingerprint of the private key, depending on whether it was imported or generated by ec2. There's javadoc on KeyPair that shows corresponding SshKeys ops, but that could probably be improved.
That's all for now.. gotta run!
