Staff / Cloud / SSH Keys

Important

  • SSH keys added in Fleio are only saved in the Fleio database and they are not added in the Openstack keypair

  • On new instance creation the key is deployed trough cloud init (see Cloud-init)

  • When deploying a cluster the key will be added in Openstack and it will be assigned to the selected api user.

In this page, you can do as follow:
