Description

@bobhenkel

Spun up an alpha channel instance on OpenStack VM. On my first ssh login I see the the output below. I was able to spin up a x86_64 production channel instance and it didn't cause this failure.

The authenticity of host 'x.y.z (x.y.z)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:5EJ6tTTrX4zFLh25biRCk96MSFH.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'x.y.z' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
