Great new feature! But sigh I just built a PKI infrastructure provisioning system using a gigantic shell script, maintenance user with sudo permissions and ssh access where a master node would command a fleet of slave nodes. I guess all of my work was for naught since this seems to cover some my needs for user and ssh key provisioning. Oh well, it'll work elsewhere on all other clouds. And I guess I should release it publicly, it's just not pretty enough yet. Every time I do, gremlins come out of the bushes complaining that the code isn't elegant enough for them.

This happens so often in Devops that a good rule of thumb is to really think it long and hard before doing any handrolling. Today's dev ops stacks move so fast nobody is an expert on a single stack for longer than a week.
