I'm confused. How does `kitten` know what ssh key to use to run a remote command? Can you use `kitten` to get a list of known ec2 hosts? Why would I want to

  Key discovery is similar to tools such as ssh (i.e. SSH agent, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, etc.), and can be specified with -i if necessary. Haven't added any way to get all hosts. If it's a reasonably common use case will do. You can use awscli to retrieve IPs if you prefer. Kitten just makes it all short and straightforward without having to worry about things such as pagination and the inconsistent AWS result format. It also allows you to easily work on a set of IPs with minimum friction. Not trying to replace Ansible, it's more of a simple tool for quick multi-host touches.
