VESSL Cloud Documentation

Each node in your cluster has a dedicated public IP and accepts SSH with the representative public key your account manager registered for the cluster.

Prerequisites

An Active cluster.
The private key matching the representative SSH public key your account manager registered for the cluster.

Connect

Find each node’s public IP in the cluster’s Node management tab, then connect:

Node management tab listing each node with its public IP and a Copy all SSH config button

ssh -i ~/.ssh/<key> ubuntu@<node-ip>

You log in as ubuntu. To run commands as root, escalate with sudo (for example, sudo -i). Each node has its own dedicated public IP — connect to each one separately using the IPs listed in the Node management tab.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause and fix
`Permission denied (publickey)`	You’re using a key that doesn’t match the one registered for the cluster. Confirm your private key matches the registered public key.
Connection timeout	Inbound traffic to port 22 isn’t allowed. Add an inbound firewall rule with protocol `tcp` and port `22`, and set the source CIDR to include your IP.
