multiple SSH keys. Question to the dev community members

[Bikram Biswas <bi...@gmail.com>]

Hi Dev community.
I want to start a discussion thread about multiple-SSH key support.
Currently, ACS supports only a single ssh key. What do you think about the benefits of holding multiple ssh keys. How can it help the community and the users, if the support for multiple ssh keys is provided?

Hi Bikram,

Thanks for starting the thread and welcome to the dev community. This is an idea proposed by David for GSoC2021 has already explained why the community would benefit from this feature.

To you and all the potential GSoC students in the community - the GSoC student application deadline is tomorrow, so please submit your final application before the deadline. Best of luck!


Regards.

Hi Bikram,

That's a good idea.
I think it would benefit the users by allowing them to add their own personal SSH key to a VM and avoid the hassle of managing multiple shared keys for different VMs (across projects / domains). It also solves the problem when a user is removed as their key can be removed from the list, revoking their access without the need for a new key to be regenerated and shared. It could also simplify monitoring as well as automation from a central server to the VMs in the infrastructure without additional steps of using a specific key per VM or group of VMs
