What service are you referring to? My EC2 instances running CoreOS Container Linux (moving to Fedora CoreOS as we speak...) have an ed25519 host key only and users can ssh in using their ed25519 key pair. Yeah, we don't create them using AWS web UI, but using terraform / ignition.

So when I use the EC2 web dashboard and try to add my SSH key, it gives me an error unless it's an RSA key. Obviously once I'm logged into a given sever over SSH, I can change my key to be whatever is supported by the underlying VM OS.
