Appendix D. Managing Keypairs

Key pairs allow you to manage SSH access between a user and provisioned instance. For more information about key pairs in OpenStack, see Manage Key Pairs in the Instances and Images Guide.

To manage key pairs, navigate to Compute Clouds Key Pairs. From there, you can view a list of available key pairs. Click on a key pair to view its details.

To create a new key pair:

  1. Navigate to Compute Clouds Key Pairs.
  2. Click 1847 (Configuration), 2345 (Add a new Key Pair).
  3. Enter a Name for the key pair.
  4. If you want to use a public key, copy its contents into the Public Key (optional) field.
  5. Select which cloud provider on which to create the key pair. The key pair will then be available for use by instances in that provider.
  6. Click Add.
