Make keypairs optional in the Openstack API

[Dan Prince]

Creating a server within the Openstack API requires a keypair. As keypairs aren't part of the Cloud Servers API specs (v1.0/v1.1) we need to make this requirement optional.

NOTE: Additionally there is currently no Openstack API controller to create keypairs. (branches exist to add this functionality however)

The keys code actually got mixed into my volumes branch (sorry!), so the latest keys code is here:

I wish I'd known that key_pairs weren't a requirement - there's a bit of a storm raging on that merge request...

I had presumed that the plan was to generate a default keypair for each user, so v1.0 users wouldn't need to create a key but would still have a key_pair in the system. Ideally, they'd upload their own public key, but we know that not every user will do that.

This is actually a super-high-priority bug IMHO; without it you can't create a server without using the EC2 API.

I'm grabbing it...

Hi Justin,

I'd like to keep this one. I'm working with Mark W. who is doing the personalities (I sit right next to him). Once that is in (hopefully early this week) we can resolve this issue as well fairly quickly.

I've been holding off on doing this until he gets his branch in to avoid any further conflicts in that same file.

Errr... sorry Dan; the fix is ready. It was a 15 minute fix (mostly spent waiting for bazaar and launchpad) This was blocking me from doing testing, so it became 'next on my list' for me.

Going to propose for merge in a few minutes:

I guess in future if you're working on something then grab it....

I'm going to grab it back so that this doesn't confuse people.
