To improve the security of Linux virtual machines (VMs) in Azure, you can integrate with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication. You can now use Azure AD as a core authentication platform and a certificate authority to SSH into a Linux VM with AD and SSH certificate-based authentication. This functionality allows organizations to centrally control and enforce Azure role-based access control (RBAC) and Conditional Access policies that manage access to the VMs. This article shows you how to create and configure a Linux VM and login with Azure AD using SSH certificate-based authentication.
