-   OpenStack-Ansible deployments require the presence of a
-   ``/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`` file on the deployment host.
-   The contents of this file is inserted into an
-   ``authorized_keys`` file for the containers, which is a
-   necessary step for the Ansible playbooks. You can

-   ``lxc_container_ssh_key`` variable to the public key for
-   the container.
