Description of issue (in as much detail as possible)
az ssh
supports providing an SSH private/public keypair via the-i
and-p
options.-p
(the public key) is required. Sincessh
users almost always store the public key under the same filename as the private key with.pub
suffixed to the end, could the necessary value for-p
perhaps be inferred, if-i
is provided and-p
is not?(Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible to compute the public portion of the key from the private key.)
