How to connect to your VIVO VM using an SSH private key.


Using your PEM key

ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem azureuser@<public-ip>

If ssh rejects the key due to permissions (common on Windows/WSL):

# Copy key to Linux filesystem first (WSL users)
cp /mnt/c/Users/<YourName>/Downloads/your-key.pem ~/.ssh/
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/your-key.pem
ssh -i ~/.ssh/your-key.pem azureuser@<public-ip>

Get the public IP

After deployment, find the public IP in the Azure Portal under your resource group, or from the deployment Outputs tab (publicIPAddress).


First connection

On first connection, SSH will ask to confirm the host fingerprint:

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Type yes.


SSH key format

The adminPublicKey parameter requires OpenSSH format:

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAA... your-comment

RSA keys (ssh-rsa AAAA...) are also supported.
