I want to recover my ssh public key from my private key. I am aware of this answer but it doesn't seem to work for me. When I run the command suggested ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/my_key -y > ~/.ssh/my_key.pub I only get the algorithm ssh-ed25519 and an ssh fingerprint not the full public key. What am I missing?

I tried making a new key and testing the command, it worked as expected. Is there something about the algorithm?

It is worth noting that the original key pair was generated by AWS.

Try it with openssl:

openssl pkey -in ~/.ssh/my_key -pubout
