SSH private keyΒΆ

The ansible_ssh_keyfile.pem file is an SSH private key used by Ansible to connect to Ceph nodes. Decapod uses Ansible to configure remote machines. Ansible uses SSH to connect to remote machines. Therefore, it is required to propagate SSH private key to Decapod. If you do not have a prepared SSH private key, generate a new one as described in Create SSH keys.

After you generate the key, copy it to the top level of the source code repository. The file name must be ansible_ssh_keyfile.pem and the format of the file must be PEM.

Warning

Keep the key private.
