Policies for maintaining access credentials on EC2

  • 772

Managing EC2 access keys and X.509 certificates can become challenging when you start to deal with large numbers of instances. Do any EC2 users here have good policies and/or tools for:

  • rotating EC2 access keys and X.509 certificates
  • preventing copies of keys / certs from proliferating onto instances and AMIs
  • keeping the keys in a centralized location with the appropriate access ?
