  • Reference
Module:
Az.Compute

Adds SSH public keys to the VMSS.

Syntax

Add-AzVmssSshPublicKey
   [-VirtualMachineScaleSet] <PSVirtualMachineScaleSet>
   [[-Path] <String>]
   [[-KeyData] <String>]
   [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-AzVmssSshPublicKey cmdlet adds the public keys that you can use to connect to the Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) virtual machines over Secure Shell (SSH).

Examples

Example 1: Add an SSH public key to the VMSS

$VMSS = New-AzVmssConfig
Add-AzVmssSshPublicKey -VirtualMachineScaleSet $VMSS -KeyData "MIIDszCCApugAwIBAgIJALBV9YJCF/tAMA0GCSq12Ib3DQEB21QUAMEUxCzAJBgNV" -Path "/home/admin/.ssh/authorized_keys"

This example adds an SSH public key to the VMSS. The first command uses the New-AzVmssConfig cmdlet to create a VMSS configuration object and stores the result in the variable named $VMSS. The second command adds an SSH key with the specified key data and stores the key at the specified path on the virtual machine.
