Abstract
Disclosed are various examples for validating a public SSH host key. The examples can be implemented in a hyper-converged computing environment to detect potential man-in-the-middle attacks in which an attacker intercepts or spoofs an internet protocol (IP) address of a target virtual machine (VM) that is being addressed by a management service and with which a secure shell (SSH) session is being established.
