You say when a image is shutdown it reverts back to it's original
state, but does that image/machine ever get reused?

My point being if your going to reuse machines keeping individual
certificates could be useful. To enable this you could just nfs mount
a share that new certificates could be created in, and 'old'
certificates could be loaded from. You should just have to mount /var/
lib/puppet/ssl/ and after creating the required sub-directories new
machines will auto generate certificates and reused machines would use
existing certificates. That way you should have some control over
signing.
