Lifecycle

• Creation ordering: The Project must be Active.
• Deletion behaviour: KeyPairs have no children. Deletion calls the Aruba Cloud API and removes the finalizer. Note: deleting a KeyPair that is currently referenced by a CloudServer may cause issues on the cloud side; delete the CloudServer first.
• Update behaviour: tags can be updated. value (the public key) is effectively immutable — changing it requires recreating the KeyPair.
