Well, it’s a compromise of not using third party tools and doing everything on instance rather than using some sort of interface to handle it. I’ve added lines that will remove this key when IP is attached or the option is missing just for sake of security.

Putting your private key and cert on an image is a bad idea. If one machine gets compromised the attacker now has access to your entire EC2 infrastructure.

The correct solution is to invoke the API to do what you want from whatever interface you are using.

Part of this comment was removed as it was adverting ec2 related services.
