Launching Windows VM with having files downloaded and stored on a specific location using ARM template

I have a requirement where I have to launch a Linux VM as well as Windows VM. Linux VM can ONLY be access via Windows VM. I have stored SSH Keys on KeyVault. I want to know if there is a way to download SSH keys from Keyvault and copy files on /.ssh/ folder on the launch of Windows VM from ARM template.

Basically, After the deploy both the VMs, I should just be able to RDP into my Windows VM and should be able to ssh directly to my Linux VM without any further manual work.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • You can have a Custom Script Extension for Windows VM which will download SSK key from keyvault and execute your logic.

    To check how you can deploy that in ARM template please check here.
