Can I establish an SSH connection between my local system and an EC2 instance created with Terraform without the .pem keys?

I have created an EC2 instance using Terraform. However, I do not have the .pem keys that are normally used to establish an SSH connection between my local system and the EC2 instance. Is it still possible to establish this connection?

# Example of an SSH connection command 
ssh -i path/to/pem ec2-user@hostname

No, it is not possible to establish an SSH connection between your local system and an EC2 instance created with Terraform without the .pem keys. The .pem keys are required for authentication when connecting to an EC2 instance.
