I got hung up on this part for a good 20 minutes when setting things up, and thought I would suggest two sentences in case it makes the setup easier for others. In my first attempt I used [key mykey] key_location = ~/.ssh/myAwsKey.rsa [cluster smallcluster] keyname = mykey I thought that `keyname` just pointed to the [key $keyname] section, and wasn't actually used when connecting to AWS. I then changed my config file to [key myAwskey] key_location = ~/.ssh/myAwsKey.rsa [cluster smallcluster] keyname = myAwskey and everything worked.
