I have written packer script to create image in aws. After executing the packer script it is running a ec2 instance which is using pem file created by packer. But how can I know which pem file packer is created?

Packer creates a temporary SSH key-pair (of which a .pem file is the private half). You do not need this temporary key pair to access the resulting AMI. As with Amazon's official AMIs, or an AMI that you create from a snapshot of an existing machine, you can choose any new or existing SSH key-pair when you launch a new EC2 instance backed by your AMI.
