Public bug reported: Binary package hint: euca2ools
The euca-run-instance command has a -k parameter that takes the name of a ssh key registered with eucalyptus. I find this highly inconvenient (albeit consistently inconvenient with EC2). Generating these keys every time I install UEC, and having to move them around to any machine where I want to access an image is kind of silly. For those of us that have Launchpad.net accounts, and registered public SSH keys there, it would be really handy if euca-run-instance supported something like the following: euca-run-instances $EMI -t c1.medium -k lp:kirkland or perhaps even a list: euca-run-instances $EMI -t c1.medium -k lp:kirkland,lp:neilsoman As part of the instantiation process, Eucalyptus (or perhaps euca2ools?) would wget https://launchpad.net/~$USER/+sshkeys public ssh keys, and append those to the ~ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Put this in a loop for multiple comma separated users. I understand this is not part of the EC2 api/spec. However, the EC2 api/spec is a bit arcane here. We can and should do much better than that for UEC, especially leveraging other infrastructure we have access to, such as Launchpad. ** Affects: euca2ools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: eucalyptus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: eucalyptus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - have -k support existing ssh keys + fetch public ssh keys from Launchpad when running an instance ** Summary changed: - fetch public ssh keys from Launchpad when running an instance + optionally fetch public ssh keys from Launchpad when starting an instance -- optionally fetch public ssh keys from Launchpad when starting an instance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to eucalyptus in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
