Key Pair Deletion

SSH keys that have been created are supported for deletion if they are no longer in use. After deletion, instances using this key can still log in normally with the matching local private key.

Operational Impact

• The delete operation does not affect instances that have used the key, i.e., you can still use the key for login. However, when the key is deleted, the instances bound to it will automatically update the resource association status, i.e. the instance side is updated to the unbound key state;
• If key pair is used to create instance template, such template cannot be used for creating Availability Group when the key pair is deleted;
• If key pair is used to create instance template, and the Availability Group is created based on that template, then the Availability Group will become unavailable when the key pair is deleted.

Operation Steps

1. Access SSH Key Pair Console or access the [JD Cloud Console] 2. Click Elastic Compute-Virtual Machine-SSH Key Pair on the top of the navigation bar to enter the key pair list page.

2. After selecting the locale find the key that needs to be deleted and click Delete in the action.

3. In the confirmation popup, click OK to delete the key.
