To upload a server certificate to your AWS account

The following upload-server-certificate command uploads a server certificate to your AWS account:

aws iam upload-server-certificate --server-certificate-name myServerCertificate --certificate-body file://public_key_cert_file.pem --private-key file://my_private_key.pem --certificate-chain file://my_certificate_chain_file.pem

The certificate is in the file public_key_cert_file.pem, and your private key is in the file my_private_key.pem. When the file has finished uploading, it is available under the name myServerCertificate. The certificate chain provided by the certificate authority (CA) is included as the my_certificate_chain_file.pem file.

Note that the parameters that contain file names are preceded with file://. This tells the command that the parameter value is a file name. You can include a complete path following file://.
