Problems connecting to EC2 instance using EC2 instance connect endpoint

Question

I followed this guide (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/permissions-for-ec2-instance-connect-endpoint.html). I can connect to the instance using the console but can't connect using AWS CLI. This is the output I get.
 >aws ec2-instance-connect ssh --instance-id i-0daa56a4c6ce5578d

usage: aws [options]   [ ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:

aws help
  aws  help
  aws   help

aws: error: argument operation: Invalid choice, valid choices are:

send-ssh-public-key                      | send-serial-console-ssh-public-key
help

When I use the valid choices provided above, this is what I get

aws ec2-instance-connect send-ssh-public-key --instance-id i-0daa56a4c6ce5578d --availability-zone us-east-1a --instance-os-user ec2-user --ssh-public-key file://my_key.pub
{
    "RequestId": "fa460a07-0df4-4886-bcc0-7eaf808f3cf6",
    "Success": true
}

Where should I go from here?

Accepted Answer

Make sure you have the [latest version of the AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html).

Have you followed instructions here : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-connect-methods.html

After pushing the key, you need to use ssh to connect to your instance.
