Description:
Hello, my website is taking too long to respond probably because my VM instance is full for some reason. I am trying to resize my file system and partition but my SSH console is taking too long to establish a connection. Is there a problem with the SSH keys? What can I do to resolve this?

Hi @chetd90

Thanks for using Bitnami WordPress!

Here you have a handy guide that covers the most usual SSH issues and how to tackle them:
https://docs.bitnami.com/google/how-to/troubleshoot-ssh-issues/

Additionally, you can check if the SSH port is open by running:

$ nc -zv YOURIP 22

Also, you don't need access via SSH to resize your disk size. Here you have a guide that covers how to do so:

Thanks for the advice but solved the problem by adding a ssh key to my metadata because for some reason I didn't have any ssh keys on my vm instance.
