Title:
  SSH Documentation should mention "Host Key"

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The documentation for the SSH module should mention that it is working
  with SSH *Host* Keys, since many people will commonly understand the
  term "SSH Key" to mean a key being used for User Authentication. This
  is somewhat ambiguous, I ended up building my own solution to replace
  host keys.

  The wording could be:
  Summary: configure ssh and ssh host keys

  This module handles most configuration for ssh and ssh host keys. Many
  images have default ssh host keys, which can be removed using
  ssh_deletekeys. This prevents re-use of a private key from an image on
  multiple machines. Since removing default keys is usually the desired
  behavior this option is enabled by default.
