Hello,
The dashboard for droplets tells me the monitoring should be upgraded on the droplet used as Kubernetes node. I would like to upload my ssh key to that droplet in order to login and upgrade. I understand this is not possible with the current Droplet so I went to create another one. However, I couldn’t find how to upload or configure the ssh key for an additional Kubernetes node. Anything I have been missing or are the Kubernetes nodes managed by DigitialOcean and thus prohibiting us to log on those droplets ?

Greetings!
If you’re using our Kubernetes-as-a-service product, these nodes are not accessible via SSH and the monitoring agent is not intended to function there right now. It’s a good point about the message, and something to look at as we continue to iterate on this product.

I would like to access Digital Ocean Kubernetes-as-a-service nodes over ssh and looks like it still not possible. I can ssh to nodes from inside the cluster but outside.
As I mount Persistent Volumes on host OS sometimes its nice to have an option of direct connection to host OS in oder to manage files.
You can reset the password for the droplet, open SSH in the cluster’s firewall, and then SSH in with the new password. It would be nice if there was a way to pre-configure authorized keys for new nodes, though. SSHing into a cluster node is often necessary for debugging.
