You are starting an SSM session yet using SSH keys? Can you explain that more?

SSM has StartSession which drops you into a shell, and StartSSHSession which is the equivalent of opening a tcp connection to an ssh server. When used as a ProxyCommand, the latter lets you do everything you'd normally so with an ssh connection, including tunneling. But you still need keys or some other auth mechanism.
