AWS EC2 public key from private key

In some cases, you may only have a private key (pem file) and you need to create a new instance from an AMI which requires a public key.  In this case, you can use the following SSH command:

ssh-keygen -y -f /path/to/private-key > /path/to/public-key


||

You can use PuttyGen to create the public key from the private key
