Your question cross IAM Access keys and SSH keys.. Im not sure what your question is targeted too?

Create new SSH Key Pair https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/create-key-pairs.html

Here are the steps to quickly convert a PEM to a PPK file with PuTTYGen:

  1. Download PuTTYGen from puttygen.com
  2. Open PuTTYGen and click the Load button
  3. Set the filetype to . so the AWS PEM file is visible
  4. Select your PEM file and PuTTYGen will import it
  5. Click Save Private Key and PuTTYGen will convert the PEM to a PPK file
