Hi folks,

I'm trying to create an instance with an assigned keypair that uses the Ed25519 algorithm, but I'm unable to login into the instance without providing a password (I generated the public key without a passphrase). RSA keypairs work fine.

Is Ed25519 not supported? I didn't find a support matrix in the documentation.

Thanks.
