This could happen for any of the below-listed reasons:

  1. You are using an ssh private key the corresponding public key is not listed in the authorized_keys files
  2. Cannot access authorized_keys file
  3. Do not have the right permissions to access the .ssh folder
  4. The instance was launched without a key.
  5. Authorized_keys file or .ssh folder was named wrongly or deleted by mistake
