keypair .cer file not .pem
Hi Visha, .cer file can work same as .pem file. If you get Error message "Permissions 0644 for ‘yourkey.pem’ are too open". This is not a problem with cer or pem file extension. You need to change a proper permissions for your key file, e.g. chmod 400 yourkey.cer. Now you should be able to ssh into your instance.
By the way, I am still trying to find the reason why some ppl downloaded the .cer key pair file. Really appreciate if anyone can explain this to me.
