ACE Creating SSH Key Pair

1. Go to Compute → SSH Keypairs

2. Click Create SSH Keypair.

3. You'll have two options:
   • Create a new keypair: ACE will generate a keypair and give you the private key.
   • Import an existing public key: If you already have a key, paste the public key here.

4. After saving, the keypair is associated with your CloudStack account.

💡 When you launch a VM, select this keypair in the "SSH Keypair" dropdown. ACE will automatically place the public key into the VM's authorized keys.

Notes

• Always back up your private key securely.
• CloudStack stores only the public key.
• The keypair must be selected when creating the VM to be injected into the instance.
