Hi,

I'm currently testing cloudinit,

and I have notice that each time we are doing a change,
as we generate a new instance each time (because they are no other easy way
to get network configuration regenerate),

The server ssh private keys are generate again and again.

It's possible to put in cloudinit config the sshkeys like
https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/examples.html

"ssh_keys:
  rsa_private: |
    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Maybe could we generate them once at proxmox side ?
