I got hung up on this part for a good 20 minutes when setting things up, and thought I would suggest two sentences in case it makes the setup easier for others.

In my first attempt I used

[key mykey]
key_location = ~/.ssh/myAwsKey.rsa

[cluster smallcluster]
keyname = mykey

I thought that keyname just pointed to the [key $keyname] section, and wasn't actually used when connecting to AWS.

I then changed my config file to

[key myAwskey]
key_location = ~/.ssh/myAwsKey.rsa

[cluster smallcluster]
keyname = myAwskey

and everything worked.
