Can a EC2 Server on AWS have two pairs of SSH Keys?
#1
I have a EC2 server running on AWS. So, far it's been 6 months and the service against the price is great. But now I have to get a new pair of SSH keys for an another computer. Is it even doable? If yes then how?

It is the file we are talking about.

Code:
/home/users/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys

Now you can do two things here. Create a keypair via ssh-keygen and add the public half to the above file. Or, you can create a new user and add the key pair to the file within their user directory after that.

My suggestion to you will be create a new user for your second machine. It will be much wiser way.

Create new user just like @elliekushn suggested.

There are other methods such as giving away log in info to others and what nots including creating a new key pair. But those are not recommended.
