Create Keypair #
By clicking the Create button, users can generate a new keypair. During creation:
- A new private key is usually downloaded by the user, as it won’t be stored on the platform.
- Users assign a name to the keypair to make it easier to identify.
- The public key is automatically generated or can be manually uploaded depending on the use case.
View Keypair Details #
The Details Page of a keypair (second screenshot) provides in-depth information about a specific keypair. It shows:
- Name: The assigned name of the keypair.
- Fingerprint: A unique string to verify the key.
- Public Key: The entire SSH public key associated with the pair. This key is deployed to virtual instances to facilitate secure access.
This detailed view helps administrators verify the exact public key and other properties of the keypair.
