Where SSH keys for connecting to Compute Engine instances are stored.

  1. User's home directory

  2. Cloud Storage

  3. Instance Disk

  4. Project or Instance metadata

The correct answer is: Project or Instance metadata

SSH keys for connecting to Compute Engine instances are stored in the project or instance metadata. Other options such as user's home directory, Cloud Storage, and instance disk are incorrect because they do not serve the purpose of storing SSH keys for connecting to Compute Engine instances. The user's home directory contains personal files and settings, Cloud Storage is a file storage service, and the instance disk is used for persistent storage of data and needs to be manually configured by the user. The project or instance metadata is the designated location for storing SSH keys, which allows for automatic configuration of keys during instance creation.
