Hello,
I have been using the current Azure portal to create Centos 7.0 VMs which allows me to use Username and Password without a key.
I just used the new preview portal where the only option is Centos 6.5 and it doesn't allow username and password. It would not create the VM without providing a SSH key.
Why is that? I do not have access to another Linux environment to create one.
Thank You,
