 You can add a statically managed public SSH key when you create a virtual machine (VM) by using the {product-title} web console or the command line. The key is added as a cloud-init data source when the VM boots for the first time.
 
-[TIP]
+You can also add a public SSH key to a project when you create a VM by using the web console. The key is saved as a secret and is added automatically to all VMs that you create.
+
+[NOTE]
 ====
-You can also add the key to a project by using the {product-title} web console. Afterwards, this key is added automatically to VMs that you create in the project.
+If you add a secret to a project and then delete the VM, the secret is retained because it is a namespace resource. You must delete the secret manually.
