Thanks for that link! So the key pair it creates for each VM will be the same since my own ssh key is unchanging? Amazon is reporting each key pair has it's own fingerprint to me.
So where is the code to generate the key, in the otherwise case? The closest I found was a link in the docs to http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-Create *Key*Pair.html, suggesting that Amazon's API is used.
