VMACCESS: Support for ECDSA and EdDSA SSH keys

mabicca opened this issue · 0 comments

These new modern keys have been around for a while, today , if you are deploying a Linux workload, Linux IaaS VM or any resource that accepts SSH keys, we can only upload RSA public keys.

It would be great to be able to also use ECDSA and EDDSA keys which are more modern and secure and lots of users have started to use them.

A few references:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdDSA

Are there any plans to add support for these keys when using VM Access?
