Pattern: Missing use of SSH keys for DigitalOcean compute
Issue: -
When working with a server, you’ll likely spend most of your time in a terminal session connected to your server through SSH. A more secure alternative to password-based logins, SSH keys use encryption to provide a secure way of logging into your server and are recommended for all users.
Resolution: Use SSH keys for login.
The following example will fail the digitalocean-compute-use-ssh-keys check.
resource "digitalocean_droplet" "good_example" {
image = "ubuntu-18-04-x64"
name = "web-1"
region = "nyc2"
size = "s-1vcpu-1gb"
}The following example will pass the digitalocean-compute-use-ssh-keys check.
data "digitalocean_ssh_key" "terraform" {
name = "myKey"
}
resource "digitalocean_droplet" "good_example" {
image = "ubuntu-18-04-x64"
name = "web-1"
region = "nyc2"
size = "s-1vcpu-1gb"
ssh_keys = [ data.digitalocean_ssh_key.myKey.id ]
}
