2. Generating SSH Keys
The SSH key pair is a combination of a private key and a public key. We keep the private key on your computer and provide the public key every time you launch an instance.
So, We need to generate the SSH keys to connect to the VM you are about to create. You can also use Putty. Simply run the “ssh-keygen” command as below and keep the SSH Key ready to be used while creating the VM.
