SSH

SSH keypairs are used to securely access compute instances.

A keypair contains a public key stored in the platform and a private key stored on your machine.

When you create an instance, redu.cloud injects the public key into the instance.

Requirement: Keypair Needed for Instance Creation

A keypair is required when creating an instance.

If you don’t already have one, follow the guide:

Security Notes

• SSH access is controlled by security groups.

• For the highest security needs, you can disable SSH access by blocking port 22 in your security group rules.

  • In that case, keep the instance private and access it only through your private network (for example via a bastion or VPN setup).

See Security Groups for rule details.
