This looks great! The procedures are easy to follow and understand. The intro provides valuable context about why users might want to use this feature. This is a nice addition to the workers guide.

I added some suggestions for word choice and a thought about the title. Only other thought was that maybe we should mention this or at least put a link in the /boundary/docs/workers main topic. Please let me know if you have any questions or want to chat through any of it.

Thank you for this!

Learn about configuring SSH host key validation to ensure workers connect to the correct servers and to reduce the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks.

I think we should make this H1 title start with a verb to convey that it is a usage doc. We could make it "Configure SSH host key validation" like it is in the TOC. But I'm also wondering if there's a better title to convey the job to be done here, like maybe "Verify host identity"?

great suggestion, I like your title. I updated it to "Verify SSH host identity"


## Enable host key validation

When the known hosts configuration changes, you must restart the worker.

You mention the right thing a few sentences below, but you can either restart the worker or SIGHUP it
