During cluster installation, many customers either skip the SSH key generation step or forget the path to their SSH keys post-installation. This oversight becomes a significant issue when the cluster is down and debugging is required, as access to the nodes without the SSH keys is not possible. Consequently, customers often resort to reinstalling the entire cluster, leading to unnecessary downtime and resource expenditure.

To enhance the cluster installation process, we propose automating SSH key generation and ensuring the keys are securely stored within the installation directory.
