• Verify your private_key_path is pointing to your private key and not the corresponding public key
• Verify you have added the corresponding public key to the user account you have specified with user_ocid
• Verify the public/private key pairs you are using are of the correct format
  • see: Required Keys for details on the correct format and how to generate keys
• Verify the user account is part of a group with the appropriate permissions to perform the actions in the plan you are executing
• Verify your Tenancy has been subscribed to the Region you are targeting in your plan
