Delete a key pair

Permissions

info

This action requires the following IAM (Identity and Access Management) permissions:

• compute.keypair.delete

You can delete a specified key pair. This action deletes the public key kept by Numspot.

Deleting a key pair does not delete the private key saved on your computer, and does not delete the public key in the metadata of other VM (Virtual Machine) created with the same key pair. You cannot create new VM using the deleted key pair. However, you can still connect to other VM already created with the same key pair, as long as you can provide its private key.
