"dropbearkey": This is the command to generate the SSH key pair using Dropbear, a lightweight SSH server and client.
"-y": This option indicates that the generated key should be output in a format that can be easily copied and pasted.
"-f ${path-to-key_file}": This option specifies the file where the generated key pair should be saved. The "${path-to-key_file}" is a placeholder for the actual file path you need to provide.
