Using an existing API key with the Serverless Framework in AWS
<p>In the <code>serverless.yml</code> file you can specify the name of an API key to use with functions in the deployed API.  You list the API key name(s), and then mark the methods you wish to secure with it as private. For example:</p>

<pre><code>provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs4.3
  cfLogs: true
  apiKeys:
    - MyAPIKey
</code></pre>

<p>Upon deploy, the framework <em>generates the API key</em> and assigns it to the functions.  It generates the key even if one with the same name already exists in the environment.</p>

<p>Is there a way to specify an existing API key, rather than have the framework generate it?  We <em>really</em> wish to keep generating the key separate from deployments.</p>
