Dedibox account - Concepts

Abuse

Abuse of Scaleway services includes cyber-crime, copyright violation, illegal or offensive content, spamming and malware distribution. Abuse should be reported in the console.

Abuse reports on the same offending resource for the same reason within a given timeframe are grouped by case. An abuse report either creates a case if no case is currently open or joins an existing case. Scaleway clients are responsible for taking the appropriate security measures to solve the case and related abuses.

Authorized SSH key

An SSH key (Secure Shell key) allows passwordless authentication on SSH sessions. An SSH key is generated by creating an RSA key pair consisting of two elements:

• a sensitive identification key, (i.e. private key) which must be stored securely,
• a public key which is uploaded to the Scaleway Dedibox interface.

The public key is kept in your Scaleway account and transferred to the Dedibox server during the installation, while the identification key is kept securely on your local computer. When connecting to the Instance via SSH, a trusted connection to the machine is established using the key pair.

Billing

The billing section contains all information related to the payment of your invoices. You can update your billing method from this page and download your invoices. It also allows you to define an additional billing contact, who receives a copy of your monthly invoice by email.

Dedibox console
