Using SSH Keys

Once you have added an SSH key, you can select it when:
  • Creating a Bare Metal server: In Step 5 (Basic Information), select your SSH key from the dropdown
  • Creating a Container: SSH access is available for official templates with port 22 exposed
After your resource is running, connect using: 
ssh root@<public-ip> -i /path/to/your/private-key
