[cs615asa] ec2 key name for hw6

[Avineshwar Singh]

I am not sure what you are asking exactly but, I think it should be
something like generating a pub-priv key pair locally, save the public key
to an EC2 instance's *authorized_keys *and some environment variable for
seamless access, create a script/tool which does rsync (supplying EC2
instance's relevant details as destination I guess?, post key
authorization) to that remote host (EC2 instance) using proper command
invocations and environment variables (as those are to be interpreted at
that instance), as an example.

I am sharing a primitive thought process. I still have to dig into this.

I am not sure about dd though. Do we need to tar and then send it to EC2
and write that tar using *dd *to some new volume or we have to *scp* our
files to the EC2 instance using *dd* to some volume (a new volume) and then
tar or not tar all, at the destination?
