To create a CloudFront public key

The following example creates a CloudFront public key by providing the parameters in a JSON file named pub-key-config.json. Before you can use this command, you must have a PEM-encoded public key. For more information, see Create an RSA Key Pair in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

aws cloudfront create-public-key \
    --public-key-config file://pub-key-config.json

The file pub-key-config.json is a JSON document in the current folder that contains the following. Note that the public key is encoded in PEM format.

{
    "CallerReference": "cli-example",
    "Name": "ExampleKey",
    "EncodedKey": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAxPMbCA2Ks0lnd7IR+3pw\nwd3H/7jPGwj8bLUmore7bX+oeGpZ6QmLAe/1UOWcmZX2u70dYcSIzB1ofZtcn4cJ\nenHBAzO3ohBY/L1tQGJfS2A+omnN6H16VZE1JCK8XSJyfze7MDLcUyHZETdxuvRb\nA9X343/vMAuQPnhinFJ8Wdy8YBXSPpy7r95ylUQd9LfYTBzVZYG2tSesplcOkjM3\n2Uu+oMWxQAw1NINnSLPinMVsutJy6ZqlV3McWNWe4T+STGtWhrPNqJEn45sIcCx4\nq+kGZ2NQ0FyIyT2eiLKOX5Rgb/a36E/aMk4VoDsaenBQgG7WLTnstb9sr7MIhS6A\nrwIDAQAB\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n",
