Hi Erlon,

Please verify my understanding w.r.t SSH Keys mentioned in the
documentation:

   - ssh key pair for communication between gerrit & git data repository
   - ssh key pair for communication between git data repository & jenkins

In addition, please verify below assumption

   - key pair can be generated on any machine e.g. my laptop & then
   configured accordingly.
   - key pair is not dependent on the MAC address in-order for CI to work
   properly


Regards,
Amit
