Current limitations of the SSH mode of {command}`ipcluster` are:

- Untested and unsupported on Windows. Would require a working {command}`ssh` on Windows.
Also, we are using shell scripts to setup and execute commands on remote hosts.
Consideration of SSH mode of {command}`ipcluster` under Windows:

- After installing `OpenSSH` server and `python` (including `ipyparallel`)
on all cluster machines, an SSH cluster can be set up via {command}`ipcluster`
without limitations.
- Although, Microsoft provides a specific `OpenSSH` installer, it uses an quite
old version of `OpenSSH`. Therefore, it is highly recommended to install the latest
version from [Win32-OpenSSH in Github](https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH)
