Day 21: Assigning Public IP to Virtual Machines - Error

[Vinod1]

Hi, I could able to create the Azure VM successfully and able to connect it using generated Public key via SSH but still getting the below error message upon submission.

Below are the steps i followed:
To generate key:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/datacenter_vm_ed25519

To create VM:
az vm create
–resource-group kml_rg_main-99e26f0e808a4bb8
–name xfusion-vm
–image Ubuntu2404
–size Standard_B1s
–admin-username azureuser
–ssh-key-values ~/.ssh/datacenter_vm_ed25519.pub
–public-ip-address xfusion-pip
–storage-sku Standard_LRS
–os-disk-size-gb 64
–location centralus

To connect VM:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/datacenter_vm_ed25519 azureuser@

I could able to connect it but can you confirm why i am still getting the error message after submission ?

Because you’re using a public key you generate locally, the grader has to find the corresponding private key. So I’m guessing that the grader can’t do that with an arbitrary name.

Instead, just generate a default RSA key using the ssh-keygen command. The grader will look for ~/.ssh/id_rsa, and will likely be able to find your vm and check it.

Thanks @rob_kodekloud. It worked now.
