Is it possible to clone a EC2 instance data and all?

A:
you can make an AMI of an existing instance, and then launch other instances using that AMI.

and the data needs to be inside root partition (not on /mnt) or you can use EBS for data.

use ami-tools, which provides ec2-bundle-vol, ec2-upload-bundle utilities. Then use ec2-register from ec2-api-tools for registering your ami with Amazon.

The problem is I can't SSH into this instance due to a problem with the keypair. Ideas?
