SSH key managment for many users

0

Hi,

I need to assign ssh key pairs to the EC2 instances for multiple IAM users. So what i want to have:

IAM users [user1,user2,user3], out of them [user1,user2] should have separate (each IAM user should have its own user in VM) SSH access to the [VM-1,VM-2] EC2 instances, and the [user3] should have access only to the [VM-3] instance.

Do i need to generate ssh key pairs, create users inside the EC2 instance, assign permissions for those users - manually, and then also manually add those SSH pub keys in the EC2 instances? Or AWS has service that can do it automatically for me?

You can do that. But it's additional work that you have to do. However, check out Systems Manager Session Manager as it does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
