To set up SSH keys, follow these steps: 1. Create a key using the command: `ssh-keygen -C username`. 2. You can skip setting a password for the private key and copy the public key to upload it. 3. Go to the metadata section and add the generated SSH public key under SSH keys. Key formats: - For keys without an expiration: `KEY_VALUE USERNAME` - For keys with an expiration: `KEY_VALUE google-ssh {"userName":"USERNAME","expireOn":"EXPIRE_TIME"}` Where: - `KEY_VALUE` is the SSH public key value. - `USERNAME` is your username. - `EXPIRE_TIME` is the expiration time in ISO 8601 format (e.g., `2021-12-04T20:12:00+0000`).
