The SSH host keys are printed to the console during boot, so you can use "euca-get-console-output <instance ID>" to see this. It will have two separate keys. You want to add the one starting with "ssh-rsa" to your ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Scripting it like this worked for me: IID=i-5b46873c # your instance ID goes here echo $( euca-describe-instances $IID | grep $IID | awk '{ print $4 }' ) \ $( euca-get-console-output $IID | grep ^ssh-rsa ) >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts hope this helps.
