Roman Valls commented on WHIRR-158:
-----------------------------------

How difficult would it be for whirr to drop root privileges altogether for custom university clusters ?:

In other words: eliminate sysadmin dependency ;P

> Currently you have to log on to cloud instances with a particular user name (e.g. ec2-user on Amazon Linux, root on Ubuntu on rackspace). It would be nice if you could use the same user as the one that launched the cluster.
