SSH keys

Manage the SSH keys you use with Foundry compute

In order to create and access instances on Foundry, you'll first need to create or add existing SSH keys. SSH keys in Foundry are scoped to an individual project. See Access Management Overview for additional information on how resources are scoped in Foundry.

While it is technically possible for users within a particular Project to share SSH keys, it is best practice to keep SSH keys unique to an individual user.

Creating SSH keys in a project

After confirming that you are in the correct project, select SSH keys in the left nav.

Select Create SSH key, and choose if you would like Foundry to generate a new key for you or if you would like to add your own.

If you choose to generate a key, it will automatically download upon creation. Keep this somewhere safe! You won't be able to download it again, as Foundry never retains private keys.

Removing SSH keys from a project

To remove an SSH key from a project, open the ••• menu next to the key you want to remove and choose Delete.
