Support Modern Host Keys in Metal SOS console

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Florian Klink. The current owner is: Unassigned.

A recent openssh upgrade removed ssh-rsa from the default list of HostkeyAlgorithms, due to security concerns. See https://levelup.gitconnected.com/demystifying-ssh-rsa-in-openssh-deprecation-notice-22feb1b52acd This means the one-liner to access the SOS console currently fails: ❯ ssh $uuid@sos.dc13.platformequinix.com Unable to negotiate with 145.40.79.87 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa I need to manually invoke ssh with the -oHostkeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa parameter. sos.*.platformequinix.com should support more modern host keys, so this works by default again (and is more secure)

    The SOS console has now been updated to support modern host keys. Users should no longer see the "no matching host key type found" error.

    Any update on this? SHA-1 is now considered cryptographically insecure.

    Setting this one back to "Under Review" as I am seeing that it is still valid. I was able to replicate what Florian Klink provided, we will be reviewing shortly. Please stay tuned. > ssh $uuid@sos.da11.platformequinix.com Unable to negotiate with 145.40.76.147 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa
