-When
+If you have already manually created an EC2 Instance (and I hope you have, or this might not make any sense) you will already have a key pair. If you have just created a new account to test this then you will not yet have a key pair. You need to manually create a key pair as the Terraform script we are using here does not do this for you, it simply allows you to chose an existing key pair.
+\\
+\\
+If you have an existing key pair that you have downloaded, you can use this as well, however this is not covered here, it will be covered in a more advanced section.
+\\
+\\
+In the AWS Console, navigate to the Resources section.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_key_pair_001.jpg?700 |}}
+\\
+Select Key Pairs.
+\\
+\\
+The Key Pairs page will open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_key_pair_002.jpg?700 |}}
+\\
+Select Create Key Pair.
+\\
+\\
+A pop up browser window will open
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_key_pair_003.jpg?400 |}}
+\\
+Enter a new Key Pair name.
+\\
+\\
+Select Create.
+\\
+\\
+The new Key Pair will be created and added to the Key Pair list.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_key_pair_004.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Also the key pair will be downloaded, please do not lose this file, it cannot be re-downloaded.
