guys, i have a problem when i create my node for my cluster, he create a ssh-key for every node created.

Is it possible to configure a unique ssh-key-pair to set configuration files, then all my nodes got use this? I’m using amazon ec2 to provide my node.

No; not all drivers have that option (though EC2 does), each driver implements referencing a particular key a different way, and it would require giving Rancher the corresponding private key too, which is then a huge liability because people tend to use one key for everything and any admin of rancher can get it back out.

You can use the EC2 driver and let it create a key per node, or you can use custom and spin up your own nodes.
