What about encrypting your pem file with AES (using 7zip on a Windows or OpenSSL on *nix) and then backing it up to the cloud?

If you keep one key per device, you can revoke it if/when that device is compromised, stolen, etc..

That key is for initial access to provision your machine, after which you should have a more sophisticated means of managing users, as certainly, if you are doing anything of much importance, you will eventually need at least 2.

And your IV and key for the AES encryption ... are you going to back that up to the cloud too? :-)
