error building ssh key task: %w

Error message

error building ssh key task: %w

What it means

Wrapped failure of SSHKeyName() while building the Scaleway SSH-key task: the SSH key name could not be derived (typically missing SSH public keys in the cluster spec). The root cause is carried in the %w error.

Solutions

1. Provide an SSH public key in the cluster spec (spec.sshKeyName)
2. Check the wrapped error for the exact derivation failure
