Heat does not use SSH, though I believe it did in its early days. SSH belongs to the admins. I don't think OpenStack should be using it. I see the usefuleness in the tempest case, which tests that the key given is on the box, and may need to verify other things inside the instance. However things that won't work with a simple "ssh to that box and report success/fail" could also be done just by having an image which calls back to tempest on boot. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
