This is actually a Facter bug, so I'm moving it over to that project. Your 
proposal seems reasonable, do you feel comfortable coding up a fix for it?

Bug #18253: $ecdsakey fact does not represent specific key type
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18253#change-79723

Category: 
Target version: 
Keywords: ssh
ecdsa
ecdsakey
ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
ecdsa-sha2-nistp384
ecdsa-sha2-nistp521
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


There are 5 types of SSH keys:  rsa, dsa, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, 
ecdsa-sha2-nistp384, and ecdsa-sha2-nistp521

So puppet already accounts for the three different ecdsa keytypes, but puts 
them into one fact $ecdsakey

So when doing something like this:

@@sshkey { "${::fqdn}_ecdsa":
                host_aliases => $host_aliases,
                type => ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,
                key => $::sshecdsakey,
        }

It puts the wrong keytype in known_hosts if the key is 384 or 512 bits.  

Suggest adding a fact for $ecdsatype or similar when the key is detected.

(RSA and DSA keys can be various sizes and they will always be RSA and DSA... 
but if you change the size of the ecdsa key size it changes they keytype.  
Don't ask me why.)
