Is there a way to SSH to a kubernetes node droplet? When I created the kubernetes cluster there was no option to authorize an ssh key.

Hey,
first of all you need to give access ssh port on firewall section for your droplet/node.
After that you can reset your root password on droplets access tab.
When you get your new root password you can ssh to your node.

    Looks like this is the only way for now. Even though it would be hard to manually do this if you have a lot of nodes and if you recycle some regularly (scaling up/down on demand).

I don’t believe there is - the tradeoff of a fully managed service is that you don’t get to log in and break their management.
