How do I access my virtual machine from my local Ubuntu after adding an SSH key pair?

To gain access to your virtual machine via secure shell (SSH) execute the following command:

ssh os-username@<vm's_public_ip> -i <path-to-your-SSH-private-key> 

• "os-username" is replaced with the name of the operating system (OS) running on your virtual machine.
  • For Ubuntu OS the username is ubuntu
  • For Centos OS the username is centos
  • For Debian OS the username is debian
• "<vm's_public_ip>" is replaced with the IP address of your virtual machine.
• "<path-to-your-SSH-private-key>" is replaced with the path to the private key associated with your SSH key pair.
