Upload a service certificate to Azure VM using Azure SDK Java code

If you want to programmatically upload a service certificate to the Azure VM without remotely logging into the VM, you can use the following Java program template to achieve it. This is useful when you want to upload multiple certificate at same time and do not want to do it manually.

Prerequisite - Azure sdk for Java.

 }

}

You’ll have to modify the code according to the certificate type. If the certificate is “.cer” uncomment out few of the lines and you are good to go.
