How can I create AWS managed keys.

You can't create them explicitly. AWS creates them for you (thus they are AWS managed) when needed.

So lets say that you will create EBS volume with encryption. When you do this, AWS will create AWS managed key for you automatically. Only then you will be able to see it in KMS console.
