- Add terraform-ssh-certificate-example module with EC2 instance configured for certificate-based SSH authentication - Implement TestTerraformSshCertificateExample test case to validate SSH certificate authentication workflow - Add CheckSshConnectionWithCertificate helper function in ssh module for certificate-based connections - Include comprehensive documentation and example usage in README - Configure user_data script to set up TrustedUserCAKeys for SSH certificate validation This enables testing of infrastructure that uses SSH certificate authentication instead of traditional key-based auth, providing a more secure and manageable authentication method for automated testing scenarios.
