You can use ssh-agent and have all your keys there, or you can still use 
.ssh/config, just list your keys in IdentityFile entries without tying them to 
specific hosts.

As a third option, you can use wildcards on hostnames in .ssh/config, so you 
can create an umbrella host for something like ec2*.aws.com (don't recall the 
hostname that amazon sets for those right now). 

Specifying user@host is the least secure of all options, so I would avoid that.
