SSH-Keys
SSH keys provide secure, password-less access to underlying nodes in a MetaKube Kubernetes cluster, useful for advanced troubleshooting or maintenance. While SSH keys help with administrative tasks, MetaKube doesn't require an SSH key to create clusters, because Kubernetes itself handles most management tasks without needing direct node access.
