Examples
Example 1: Add an SSH public key to the VMSS
PS C:\> $VMSS = New-AzureRmVmssConfig
PS C:\> Add-AzureRmVmssSshPublicKey -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-AzureRmVmssConfig 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.
