You can reference a resource managed outside of Pulumi using `.get()` no problem.  You should be able to pass the KeyyPair's name as the `id` here.  Does that not work for you?  What error do you see?

`const key = aws.ec2.KeyPair.get({ name: 'mykey',  id: ... });`

^ pulumi wants id to be an `Input&lt;string&gt;` and not just a string

I believe you need; `const key = aws.ec2.KeyPair.get('mykey', id);`

Yea I was looking at that, just failed to read for comprehension
