About The Keypairs Extension
============================
This extension enables you to create or import a keypair on a virtual instance. If you send the name of the instance to the API, you get a key and a private_key and fingerprint returned. You can also send a public_key to add an existing ssh key and also list the keypairs in use on instances.
To obtain current information the extensions available to you, issue an EXTENSION query on the OpenStack system where it is installed, such as http://mycloud.com/v1.1/tenant/extensions.
