Quick Start Guide for Managing SSH Keys in Utho Cloud

SSH keys are an essential part of securely accessing cloud resources, providing a safe and password-less method of authentication. In Utho Cloud, SSH keys are used to access virtual machines and other services securely. Follow this guide to generate, view, create, and delete SSH keys.

1. How to Generate SSH Key Content

To create an SSH key, use the following commands based on your operating system:

For Windows (using PowerShell)

1. Open PowerShell and run:

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]

2. Press Enter to accept the default location or specify a new path.

3. Optionally, set a passphrase for added security.

For Mac/Linux

1. Open Terminal and run:

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

2. Press Enter to accept the default location or specify a new path.

3. Optionally, set a passphrase for added security.

After generation, the SSH key will be stored in the default directory (~/.ssh/). To view the public key, run:

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

2. How to View SSH Keys
