SSH keys to create and access VMs in public cloud
...
To access your VMs in many public cloud providers, such as AWS,

you must have an RSA key pair.
For example, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstances.html:
When you deploy a VM, Abiquo launches it in the provider with a key pair.
To connect to the VM, you will need the private key file

.

The user must keep the corresponding private key in a safe place and use it to access the virtual machineVM.
