Describe requirement for ssh-keypair to log into Ubuntu/CentOS/RHEL/Fedora

[Matt Dorn]

May be helpful to assist newcomers to OpenStack cloud images by noting there is no password on Ubuntu/RHEL/CentOS/Fedora cloud images. Perhaps mentioning that injecting an ssh-keypair is the easiest way to log into the newly booted image.

Matt, It may be worth checking in with the Openstack-doc mailing list for this improvement to the image guide.

Fine by me, go for it. I explain this a lot too. We can review your patch itself.

[Lana (loquacity)]

Yep, +1 from me.

    Added keypair injection info to Image Guide

    Added some additional information regarding SSH password auth
    being disabled by default on most OpenStack cloud images. This
    requires the user to boot the image with an injected SSH key pair.
    Link to OpenStack User Guide included for info utilizing SSH key
    pairs in OpenStack.
