Clarification needed for ec2.conf

[bcwilsondotcom]

Need some clarification on the ec2.conf settings.

my-ec2-config:
  id: <aws id>
  key: <aws key>
  keyname: <my key name>
  securitygroup: <my security group>
  private_key: </path/to/my/priv_key.pem>
  location: us-east-1
  provider: ec2
  minion:
    master: saltmaster.example.com

Is id the aws account id? the aws_access_key_id? Is key is this the aws_access_key_id? the aws_secret_access_key? What about keyname? securitygroup? and private_key?

I have similar question what is the "keyname:" ? is this a *.pem ?

Keyname is the name you see in the AWS console for that key pair. The other properties are documented in the AWS EC2 guide https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/cloud/aws.html
