Access & Usage

SSH Keys​

Manage the public SSH keys offered when launching an instance with key authentication.

SSH keys

The table shows each key's Name and Fingerprint. Click Add key:

Add SSH key dialog

Give the key a Name and paste your public key (the ssh-rsa … / ssh-ed25519 … line, not the private key). The key is then selectable in the instance-create wizard's Authentication step.

tip

Add each teammate's public key with a clear name (e.g. dat-laptop) so you can tell — and later revoke — whose access is on an instance.

Quotas & Usage​

Track resource limits, live counts and billable consumption per instance. The page has three sections.

Quotas & Usage

Quotas​

The service's resource limits and live consumption as cards: vCPU, Memory (GiB), Volume (GiB), Network, Instances, plus Backups, Snapshots, Load Balancers. This is the ceiling the service can allocate.

Resource counts​

Live counts of what's currently allocated — Instances, Volumes, Security Groups, Load Balancers, SSH Keys, Snapshots, Reserved IPs, Backups — with the timestamp of the last refresh and a Refresh button.

Resource usage​

Per-instance consumption over a selectable window (1h / 4h / 24h / 7d). The table lists each instance with ID, Name, Status, vCPU, RAM (GB), Volume (GB), OS, IP, Hours, and its Start / End billing and Created at dates — this is what drives billing.

SectionWhat it answers
QuotasHow much can this service allocate, and how close is it to the limit?
Resource countsHow many of each resource exist right now?
Resource usageWhat is each instance consuming, and over what billing hours?

Important operating notes​

Read before operating instances
  • The console acts on the currently selected Cloud Compute service — an organization can have several services.
  • An instance and a volume must be in the same Zone to attach to each other.
  • Resizing an instance powers it off and restarts it — schedule it for off-peak hours to avoid disruption.
  • Terminating an instance is destructive and irreversible — the system requires you to type the exact name to confirm.
  • Detaching a volume keeps its data; the System disk cannot be detached.
  • Instances block all traffic by default — you must assign a security group that opens the ports you need before you can reach them.
  • Take periodic snapshots/backups (via Scheduled actions) before major changes so you can restore.
  • Network traffic is in Beta.
