You're facing challenges connecting to your Oracle Cloud instance. You have the IP address, username, and key files, but you're unsure how to use them with PuTTY or PowerShell. The key issue is converting Oracle's private/public key format into a format compatible with PuTTY. Make sure you follow Oracle's documentation for key conversion, as the process can vary slightly depending on your version of PuTTY and the key type. If you're still stuck, let me know what error message you're seeing in PowerShell.

Use puttygen to transform the key into a .ppk file format

Attempted it, but I require a PPP file. When configuring the instance, Oracle provided a .key file.

Attempted to open the file in puttygen but encountered loading issues and persistent errors.

I discovered a way to work it. I launched PowerShell in the privatekey folder, stripped the .key file completely, and then connected via SSH normally.
