 ## Add a user to a VM with cloud-init
 One of the first tasks on any new Linux VM is to add an additional user for yourself to avoid the use of *root*. SSH keys are best practice for security and usability. Keys are added to the *~/.ssh/authorized_keys* file with this cloud-init script.
 
-To add a user to a Linux VM, create a file in your current shell named *cloud_init_add_user.txt* and paste the following configuration. For this example, create the file in the Cloud Shell not on your local machine. You can use any editor you wish. Enter `sensible-editor cloud_init_add_user.txt` to create the file and see a list of available editors. Choose #1 to use the **nano** editor. Make sure that the whole cloud-init file is copied correctly, especially the first line.  You need to provide your own public key (such as the contents of *~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub*) for the value of `ssh-authorized-keys:` - it has been shortened here to simplify the example.

 Before deploying this image, you need to create a resource group with the [az group create](/cli/azure/group) command. An Azure resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed. The following example creates a resource group named *myResourceGroup* in the *eastus* location.
 
-```azurecli-interactive 
+```azurecli-interactive
 az group create --name myResourceGroup --location eastus
 ```
 
 Now, create a VM with [az vm create](/cli/azure/vm) and specify the cloud-init file with `--custom-data cloud_init_add_user.txt` as follows:
 
-```azurecli-interactive 
+```azurecli-interactive
 az vm create \
   --resource-group myResourceGroup \
-  --name centos74 \
-  --image OpenLogic:CentOS:7-CI:latest \
+  --name vmName \
+  --image imageCIURN \
   --custom-data cloud_init_add_user.txt \
   --generate-ssh-keys 
 ```
+> [!NOTE]
+> Replace **myResourceGroup**, **vmName**, and **imageCIURN** values accordingly. Make sure an image with Cloud-init is chosen.
