SSH certificate authorities (CAs) let you sign the host keys used by your compute instances so clients can trust them without manually pinning fingerprints. Once a CA is created, you can bind it to an instance via nscale instances create --ssh-ca-id. Aliases: ssh-cas, sshca

​
Subcommands

  • list — List SSH certificate authorities
  • get — Get SSH certificate authority details
  • create — Create a new SSH certificate authority
  • delete — Delete an SSH certificate authority

​
list

List SSH certificate authorities, optionally filtered by organization or project. 
nscale ssh-cas list [flags]

​
Flags

FlagDescription
—org stringOrganization ID
—project stringProject ID

-q, —query stringArrayjq filter for value extraction (see Query output with -q)

​
Example

nscale ssh-cas list --org <org-id>

​
get

Get details for a specific SSH certificate authority. 
nscale ssh-cas get --id <ssh-ca-id> --org <org-id>
