Please add the ability to create EC2 key pairs via CDK.

Use Case

I would like not to have to interact with AWS Console at all.
Want my keys git-versioned and manageable from CDK.

Proposed Solution

key = aws_ec2.KeyPair(
    key_name="autoscaled",
    public_key="ssh-rsa AAAABBBBBCCC...",
)

Other

Couldn't find a way how to do that in documentation. I believe this is not doable with CDK right now.

Seems the only way is to manually add key-pair via web Console and use key_name string parameter for the EC2 machine:
