Day 1: Create SSH Key Pair for Azure Virtual Machine
🚀 Day 1: Create SSH Key Pair for Azure Virtual Machine | 100 Days of Cloud (Azure)
Welcome to Day 1 of the 100 Days of Cloud (Azure) series! In this foundational lab, we begin our cloud journey by learning how to create a secure SSH key pair for an Azure Virtual Machine. This step is essential for enabling secure, password-less authentication and is a critical best practice in modern cloud environments.
As part of their cloud migration strategy, the Nautilus DevOps team is transitioning a portion of their infrastructure to Microsoft Azure. To ensure a smooth and controlled migration, the team is breaking down large tasks into smaller, manageable units. This incremental approach enhances efficiency, minimizes risk, and ensures seamless integration with ongoing operations.
