I'm not sure that hits the use case I was talking about, though.  It looks like knife's bootstrap.rb will disable host key checking if passed --no-host-key-verify, but I think that's appropriate for a config option in knife.rb - possibly for both bootstrap and ssh commands, though possibly allowing for separate config options.  Currently this seems like it can only be set at the command line.

man ssh_config will give you what you need.

TL;DR, try something like:

$ echo >> ~/.ssh/config
Host *.compute.amazonaws.com
   StrictHostKeyChecking no
