Where can a user’s public SSH key be added in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

A user's public SSH key can be added in the Identity panel under Users in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This is the designated location for managing user access and security credentials, which includes the management of SSH keys.

By placing the public SSH key in the Identity panel, the key can be associated with a user account, allowing that user to securely access resources, such as virtual machines or compute instances, via SSH. This process eliminates the need to handle sensitive credentials directly in the environments being accessed, adding a layer of security to the user authentication process.

Other options, such as adding the key directly on the Autonomous Database Console or through the Oracle Database Console, are not correct because these consoles do not typically handle user identity management. Additionally, stating that SSH keys cannot be added from the console is incorrect, as the process is indeed facilitated through the user management interfaces in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, specifically in the Identity panel.
