Chapter 9.9 - SSH

Secure Shell (SSH)

It's very common to use SSH key pairs as a mean to authenticate to your VMs. SSH Key Pairs is when you generate out two keys:

• A Private Key
• A Public Key The private key should remain on your local system and not be shared with others. A public key is stored on the VM. When you go to SSH, you provide your private key and it's matched against the public key to authenticate you.
• Example: ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]
