Can we reuse deploy key

[loispostula]

We are starting to use tapir, it looks very promising.

We have about a 100 modules that are currently deployed via ci/cd using git tags. We'd like to transition them to use tapir.

But it seems cumbersome to create, store, and manage that amount of deploy keys.

Is it possible to either:

• Reuse a deploy key for multiple modules
• Create and manage them using a terraform provider?

thanks for your request @loispostula Indeed this is not ideally handled. As of now you can not share neither manage them via terraform provider (may be viable option) However, i see a use case and consider to come up with an optimization that allows to create deploykeys, that could be scoped to namespaces. In that case i still would distinguish between deploykeys for modules and providers. WDYT?

I think that would makes a lot of sense. fyi currently, we source the deploykey from the elasticsearch directly which is easier to handle from a ci/cd pov, as we only need to manage the access to the backend (not ideal)
