Fix wrong documentation in ec2 import-key-pair around base64 encoding
Describe the issue
This is related to the below two issues against aws-cli:
- https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/41
- https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4969
There seems to be a documentation bug in botocore - I filed a very small PR to fix it:
- https://github.com/boto/botocore/pull/3129
However, I just re-read the CONTRIBUTING.md - it seems the preference is to file issues to fix these upstream (which I assume is AWS internal).
The PR should be self-explanatory - but specifically, can we update the documentation to remove the sentence:
For command line tools, base64 encoding is performed for you. (Which is no longer accurate with AWS CLI V2).
And replace with a reference to using the fileb:// URI please?
