ssh onto Cluster as root

[Zen]

Hello, I'm following the instructions here:

https://docs.databricks.com/clusters/configure.html?_ga=2.17611385.1712747127.1631209439-1615211488....

to ssh onto the Driver node, and it's working perfectly when I ssh on as `ubuntu@hostname`

but I'd like to ssh on as `root@hostname` and I get this error:

`permission denied (publickey)`

I'd greatly appreciate any help being able to ssh on as `root`. Thank you.

I am 99% sure that logging into a Databricks node as root will not be allowed.

It does seem very plausible root access is not possible.

But maybe try sudo, as this is the ubuntu way to elevate permissions.
