Step 1: Create a Linux VM on Azure
- Log in to the Azure portal and navigate to the Virtual Machines page
- Click "Create a virtual machine" and select "Linux" as the operating system.
- Choose a Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu) and configure the VM settings as desired.
- In the "Authentication" section, select "SSH public key" and paste the contents of your public key file (mykey.pub)
.
Step 2: Connect to the Linux VM using SSH
- Once the VM is created, navigate to the VM's overview page and click "Connect".
- Select "SSH" as the connection method.
- In the SSH connection dialog, enter the username and private key file (mykey) .
- Click "Connect" to establish the SSH connection.
Step 3: Verify the Connection
- Once connected, you should see a terminal prompt for the Linux VM.
- Run the command using Window PowerShell -a to verify that you are connected to the Linux VM.
That's it! You have successfully created and connected to a Linux VM using a public key.
Note: This is just a general outline, and specific steps may vary depending on your Azure subscription and VM configuration.
