1. Login/SSH to your Jenkins Master and create an SSH Key, using ssh-keygen which will be used to connect to our Jenkins Agent/Node

   i) Generate SSH Keys on Jenkins Master using (without password)
   ssh-keygen -t ed25519

   cat /home/ec2-user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

2. Login to your Jenkins Agent/Node
