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.
