That is a requirement of your Pulumi project, not Pulumi. Somewhere, you code is calling `config.require("sshPublicKey")`. You will have to review your source code to learn more.

<@U05E8BJD6BW> Without seeing your code, it’s difficult/nearly impossible to determine exactly _what_ resource is requiring an SSH public key. It kind of looks like you might be using the VM template (used with `pulumi new`), in which case the VM resource requires an SSH public key. As <@U012UJTT55M> indicates, you need to use `pulumi config set sshPublicKey &lt;value&gt;` to set the configuration value. You can use `ssh-keygen` locally (assuming you are on macOS or Linux or an equivalent OS) to generate an SSH key pair, and then use the public key portion with `pulumi config set`. Let us know if you have further questions!
