Task failed in 100 Days of Cloud Azure Practice

Hi Team,

I’ve started the 100 Days

of Cloud Azure practice. For the first task, I need to generate an SSH key pair with the specified name. I was able to create the key and confirm it exists, but the lab validation is still failing when I test the task.

Could someone help me figure out what might be going wrong? I’ve attached a screenshot for reference.

Thanks,
Ram

You need to create the SSH-Key on the Azure console.
The credentials to log in into Azure are provided in the lab.

Thanks for the response, but I’m still seeing the same issue, even after trying it in Azure Cloud Shell.

One thing you need to do differently for certain – just run “ssh-keygen” w/o arguments, since you want your local keypair to be ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Naming the keypair as you did will confuse the grader. You’ll also need to create the keypair within Azure, doing something like

az sshkey create \
  --name "nautilus-kp" \
  --resource-group $RG \
  --location "eastus" \
  --public-key "@~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"

Thanks, it works now. I needed to use the az commands and specify the resource group details since we’re in an Azure environment.
