SSH keys are a way to identify trusted computers, without involving passwords. The steps below will walk you through generating an SSH key and adding the public key to the server.

Sep 06, 2017 SSH keys on Windows for Kubernetes with Azure Container Service (ACS) 6 september 2017 1 november 2017 / Pascal Naber I’m on Windows and want to connect to my Kubernetes Linux cluster provisioned with Azure Container Service. Jan 06, 2016  Generating a SSH key and use the result to log in to your Azure Linux VM is not that hard to accomplish. In the following article I want to go over the steps. Get PuTTYgen to generate your SSH key First we need to download another “PuTTY” tool called PuTTY Key Generator. Just download the PuTTYgen executable and start. You can find the SSH keys from the output of this command az aks create. After you run this command, you can find your ssh key in that output. You can find it in this path. Aug 01, 2016  az vm create says: -ssh-key-value: SSH public key or public key file path. OK I think an argument should either accept a file OR a file contents. It's unintuitive and opens a clear path to bugs and more discoverability issues.

Step 1: Check for SSH Keys

First, check for existing SSH keys on your computer. Open Git Bash, Cygwin, or Terminal, etc. and enter:

Check the directory listing to see if you already have a public SSH key. By default, the filenames of the public keys are one of the following:

• id_dsa.pub
• is_ecdsa.pub
• id_ed25519.pub
• id_rsa.pub

If you see an existing public and private key pair listed (for example id_rsa.pub and id_rsa) that you’d like to use, you can skip Step 2 and go straight to Step 3.

Step 2: Generate a new SSH key

With your command line tool still open, enter the text shown below. Make sure you substitute in your email address:

You’ll be asked to enter a passphrase, or simply press Enter to not enter a passphrase:

After you enter a passphrase (or just press Enter twice), review the fingerprint, or ‘id’ of your SSH key:

Step 3: Add your key to the ssh-agent

To configure the ssh-agent program to use your SSH key, first ensure ssh-agent is enabled.

If you are using Git Bash, turn on the ssh-agent with command shown below instead:

Then, add your SSH key to the ssh-agent:

Step 4: Add your SSH key to the server

/serial-key-generator-32-bit.html. To add your public SSH key to the server, you’ll copy the public SSH key you just created to the server. Substitute “username” with your username on the server, and “server.address.com” with the domain address or IP address of your server:

The server will then prompt you for your password:

That’s it! You should now be set up to connect to the server without having to authenticate.
