Migrating from ssh_keypair to ssh_key

-> This migration guide applies to Exoscale Terraform Provider version 0.31.0 to 0.53.2.

This page helps you migrate from an exoscale_ssh_keypair resource (deprecated) to the new exoscale_ssh_key.

Unlike its predecessor, the exoscale_ssh_key resource doesn’t support generating private keys and only allows the registration of an existing (public) key in your Exoscale account.

Should you need to generate a key pair (public and private key), we invite you to use the generic tls_private_key and the resource’s public_key_openssh output along Exoscale exoscale_ssh_key. Example given:

resource "tls_private_key" "my_ssh_key" {
  algorithm = "ED25519"
}

resource "exoscale_ssh_key" "my_ssh_key" {
  name       = "my-ssh-key"
  public_key = tls_private_key.my_ssh_key.public_key_openssh
}

WARNING: Should you generate an RSA key pair, make sure your SSH client supports SHA2 - rsa-sha2-256 or rsa-sha2-512 - when talking to SSH servers which might have disabled support for SHA1 (example given OpenSSH 8.8 and above)!
