These keys are consumed by on-instance configuration provided by this package. The ssh daemon will query EC2 Instance Metadata service for user-keys at ssh calltime, validate any if present as well as validating their signature, and if all checks pass return will include them in the authorized keys list. . In addition, there is an agent that harvests instance ssh host keys and passes them back to the service. This is for authentication purposes by the EC2 console to open an in-browser ssh terminal connection.
