hi, i have a question regarding best practices using pulumi to provision & manage infrastructure. say i have 300 bare metal machines or VPSs (not from cloud providers like GCP), i need to provide authentication credentials for pulumi to ssh into and manage those instances. then i need to manually generate 300 keypairs, right. now, what's the best way to pass those key pairs around the team?

Hi. I'm not sure to understand the value of having this many ssh keys. The management overhead is going to be a nightmare. Instead you could use signed SSH keys for your team and Pulumi which would greatly reduce your number of keys.

it's worth pointing out at this stage: Pulumi's support for managing things at the operating system layer comes as an artifact of a mechanism called dynamic providers - these providers were not originally designed for OS management, although it is possible.

Yes, that's an excellent point

thanks, appreciate your insights. lm research more on this.
