SSH into EC2 using lambda function (Paramiko Lib)

Question

I want to establish an SSH connection to an EC2 instance through a Lambda function using the Paramiko library. I have created a Paramiko library layer and attached it to the function. However, when I use the function "key = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key_file('EC2-Key.pem')", I encounter an attribute error. This function works perfectly when I run it locally in VSCode. The key file is stored in the same folder as the code. The version of the Paramiko library is the same both locally and in the Lambda layer.

Error: "errorMessage": "module 'paramiko' has no attribute 'RSAKey'", "errorType": "AttributeError", "stackTrace": [ " File "/var/task/lambda_function.py", line 40, in lambda_handler\n key = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key_file(EC2-Key.pem)\n"

Error: 
  "errorMessage": "module 'paramiko' has no attribute 'RSAKey'",
  "errorType": "AttributeError",
  "stackTrace": [
    "  File "/var/task/lambda_function.py", line 40, in lambda_handler
    key = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key_file(EC2-Key.pem)
"

Answer

What about using Amazon Linux2 to create layers?  
As noted in the following documentation, it may not work well if created on a local Windows or Mac machine.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/packaging-layers.html  
> The first step to creating a layer is to bundle all of your layer content into a .zip file archive. Because Lambda functions run on Amazon Linux, your layer content must be able to compile and build in a Linux environment. If you build packages on your local Windows or Mac machine, you’ll get output binaries for that operating system by default. These binaries may not work properly when you upload them to Lambda.
