SSH Keys

The SSH Keys page helps you view and manage SSH keys in the console.

What are SSH Keys?

SSH Keys are public keys you register with cloud providers for SSH access to your machines. When you create a machine, you can attach one or more SSH keys so you can log in without passwords. The console lets you manage keys across your cloud accounts in one place.

View SSH Keys

The SSH Keys table lists all SSH keys from your registered cloud accounts, with their attributes displayed in table columns. Use pagination controls at the bottom of the page to navigate between pages if there are too many keys to display.

When table data is being updated, table rows are displayed in italic, and table controls become inactive. It may take time to load the next portion of data.

To refresh the table, use the Reload 🔄 button.

To customize attributes displayed in the table, use the Layout ⠇ button.

When there are too many SSH keys available, use the Add filters 🔎 button to fine-tune your search. See the Resource Filter documentation for details.

Attributes

The following SSH Key attributes are available:

  • ID — Provider-specific identifier
  • Provider — Cloud provider (e.g. Akamai)
  • Region — Region where the key is registered
  • Account — Account that owns the key
  • Name — Display name or label for the key
  • Public key — The public key value
  • Fingerprint — Key fingerprint
  • Tags — Labels attached to the key

Which columns appear by default can vary; use the Layout button in the toolbar to show or hide columns.

Creating a new SSH key

To add a new SSH key, click Create in the toolbar. You will be taken to the Create SSH Key page to enter a label and the public key. This action is disabled when the selected account does not have Admin access.

Deleting an SSH key

To delete an SSH Key, check the key’s selection box and click the Delete 🗑️ button. This action is disabled when the key is associated with an account that does not have Admin access.

The delete action may take time. Its status and progress are available on the Actions page.
