Description
The newly announced [EC2 Instance Connect](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/06/introducing-amazon-ec2-instance-connect/) feature lets you authenticate using your IAM user, and generates a temporary per-connection SSH key, instead of relying on distributing keys ahead of time. Could be more convenient! But it requires support in the server image.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked EC2 Instance Connect announcement and inspecting how the server image currently handles SSH access and key distribution. Done means determining whether the image can support temporary IAM-authenticated connections and documenting or implementing the required project changes.
