To deploy Vm using ssh key pairs you will need to use a template that has SSH Key Gen Scripts in it. Only then you will be able to ssh into the instance using ssh key.

Or the template which I am using for creating the instance has to be supporting SSH keys? as explained in 5.2.1 section at http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.2/html/Installation_Guide/using-sshkeys.html In short, Is the SSH using keyPairFileLocation - template dependent or will it always work if I provide ssh key pair while creating instance and use normal template?
