Ok, this makes sense. I generally assume that people deploying OpenStack have some integration work to do anyway. So, for me, writing a few python methods isn't much different than writing a configuration file. Having said this, I do understand where you are coming from here. I do believe that a static key configuration is a useful starting place for a lot of users. I spoke with Joel this morning and I think he is going to try to put together an example key management driver that does this today. Such a solution would allow deployers to use their existing orchestration tools to write a key to a configuration file. Cheers, -bryan
