Answer 1

Yes, indeed quite misleading message. In my case I used wrong key for instance.

We had need to removed key pair and created new one, except that our instance kept using old one(because you can't do it that easy).

The error message was the same so it's worth to check key name in your aws panel of instance match the key pair that you use in key paris.
