You may launch a new instance and install puppet agent with this module installed using the following single command:
$puppet azure_vm create --management-certificate pem-or-pfx-file-path --azure-subscription-id=your-subscription-id \
--image b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-13_04-amd64-server-20130501-en-us-30GB --location 'west us'
--vm-name vmname --vm-user username --password ComplexPassword --puppet-master-ip 198.62.195.5
Once launched, you should be able to SSH to the new system using the username and password.

-
Currently the sdk supports *.pem or *.pfx (passwordless pfx) for service management operations. Following are the steps discussed on various cert operations.
-
To create pfx, simply download the publishsettings file for your subscription, copy the contents of Management Certificate from the publishsettings and save it in a file and name the file as your cert.pfx. This pfx will be a passwordless pfx which can be supplied as a cert parameter for Service Management Commands
-
Using the following openssl commands to extract the pem file and pass the pem file as management cert parameter.
-
To get only private key from pfx use Openssl.exe pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nocerts -out cert.pem
-
To remove passphrase from the above private key use Openssl.exe rsa -in cert.pem -out certprivnopassword.pem
-
To extract both public & private keys from pfx use Openssl.exe pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -out certprivpub.pem
-
To extract only public key from pem use Openssl x509 -inform pem -in certprivpub.pem -pubkey -out certpub.pem -outform pem
-
Finally copy the public key & private key to a file *.pem and pass that pem file to management cert parameter.
-
-
To extract pem from custom certificate, export the pfx, follow the above steps to convert to pem and pass that pem file to management cert parameter.
