Hi Rickard. I just ran the build again, this time with ssh_private_key_file set to the location of the key and unfortunately it still failed (see log file <https://gist.github.com/newtonne/014629e976326c7cd6365b54b82dfb48>). Note that the build works for aws-key even if I don't set ssh_private_key_file.
