Hi,

I am working on ansible-playbook for provisioning Azure VMWare and referring the ansible [document](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/azure_module.html)

```auto
- name: Provision virtual machine example
  azure:
    name: my-virtual-machine
    role_size: Small
    image: b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu_DAILY_BUILD-precise-12_04_3-LTS-amd64-server-20131205-en-us-30GB
    location: East US
    user: ubuntu
    **ssh_cert_path: /path/to/azure_x509_cert.pem**
    storage_account: my-storage-account
    wait: True
    state: present
  delegate_to: localhost

I am bit confused about **azure_x509_cert.pem**
do I need to download .pem file from Azure dashboard 
OR
do I need to upload in generated SSH key .pub file in Azure account from CLI same as in AWS upload SSH key and used the same key for instance provision  

```
