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