This key is a temporary key generated during image creation and deleted after each build.


Technical detail about image build process :

We use www.packer.io to build images for baremetal and PCI.

For the impacted OS we rely on the builder \"openstack\" that generates a temporary SSH key to boot and customize the image.

This key is added to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys but by default not purged by packer :

see option : https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/openstack.html#ssh_clear_authorized_keys

\"If true, Packer will attempt to remove its temporary key from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and /root/.ssh/authorized_keys. This is a mostly cosmetic option, since Packer will delete the temporary private key from the host system regardless of whether this is set to true\"

The security is not impacted as is key is never stored.
