Key Files in Terraform

Whenever I add key_name to my amazon resource, I can never actually connect to the resulting instance:

provider "aws" {
    "region" = "us-east-1"
    "access_key" = "**"
    "secret_key" = "****"
}

resource "aws_instance" "api_server" {
    ami = "ami-013f1e6b"
    instance_type = "t2.micro"
    "key_name" = "po"

    tags {
        Name = "API_Server"
    }

}

output "API IP" {
    value = "${aws_instance.api_server.public_ip}"
}

When I do

ssh -i ~/Downloads/po.pem bitnami@IP

I just a blank line in my terminal, as if I was putting in a wrong IP. However, checking the Amazon console, I can see the instance is running. I'm not getting any errors on my Terraform either.

By default all network access is not allowed. You need to explicitly allow network access by setting a security group.

provider "aws" {
    "region" = "us-east-1"
    "access_key" = "**"
    "secret_key" = "****"
}

resource "aws_instance" "api_server" {
    ami = "ami-013f1e6b"
    instance_type = "t2.micro"
    key_name = "po"
    security_groups = ["${aws_security_group.api_server.id}"]

    tags {
        Name = "API_Server"
    }

}

resource "aws_security_group" "api_server" {
  name        = "api_server"

  ingress {
    from_port   = 22
    to_port     = 22
    protocol    = "tcp"
    cidr_blocks = ["XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/32"] // Allow SSH from your global IP
  }

  egress {
    from_port       = 0
    to_port         = 0
    protocol        = "-1"
    cidr_blocks     = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
  }
}


output "API IP" {
    value = "${aws_instance.api_server.public_ip}"
}
