# Key Management System

Use the appropriate credential for the resource or service you want to access. Krutrim Cloud provides SSH keys for virtual machines, bucket credentials for object storage, and general API keys for supported Cloud services and clients.

## Keys managed in KMS

* **SSH keys:** For secure, password-less access to your virtual machines.
* **Bucket API keys:** Public/private credentials for programmatically accessing and managing your storage buckets.

## General API keys

API keys for Sandbox, MCP, Models, CLI, and SDK are managed under **Administration → API keys** in the Krutrim Cloud Console. They are no longer limited to model access and do not require a model or model-group selection during creation.

See [API Keys](/basics/key-management-system/model-api-keys.md) to create, configure and revoke a general API key. Account permissions and service-specific authentication requirements still apply.

General API keys are separate from SSH and bucket credentials; use the credential type required by your workflow.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cloud.olakrutrim.com/basics/key-management-system.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
