Nodes could not be commissioned

[Peter Matulis]

Hi Amira, I help write the documentation for MAAS. I would love your
feedback on how connecting via SSH is unclear.

The 'Add nodes' page [1] leads the reader to the 'Commission nodes' page
[2] which, in turn, leads the reader to the 'Deploy nodes' page [3] which
explains SSH in its first paragraphs:

"The deployed node will also be ready to accept connections via SSH to the
'ubuntu' user account providing an SSH key has been imported to the MAAS
user account. This is explained in SSH keys."

Where 'SSH keys' above is a link for setting up SSH [4].

The 'Checklist' [5] at the top of the 'Install & Configure' section also
covers a first user experience that includes connecting via SSH as its last
step.
