hey @yonzhan, we need assistance with a new feature we're rolling out. We're modifying the generateSshKeyPair API and need to update the CLI to reflect those changes. The generateSshKeyPair now has a response body that takes in the "encryptionType" property. The allowed values of this property are either "RSA" or "Ed25519". Looking at our existing docs, this cli will need to get updated: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/vm?view=azure-cli-latest#az-vm-create (--generate-ssh-keys). One possible update would be to turn this from a true/false to a flag that requires a property. I've pasted the Swagger Spec below:

@kamusta-msft @srijang Could you please use this template [Microsoft Internal / Service Team] Feature Request to create this feature request? It contains more necessary information for us to develop, such as whether the Python SDK is ready and the ETA. Then we will evaluate the effort and priority of it to plan its development and release.
Damn, finally this feature is getting worked on, wow, RSA was getting a bit old, I'm happy it's moving forward.
The Azure CLI is supporting this but Key Vault is only supporting RSA or ECC. When is it expected to be released across both?
I'll also add that the Azure STA does not support ed25519 as of now. Despite, support having landed for VM ssh authentication
Azure CLI has already supported Ed25519 when creating a VM. You can run "az vm create" command with "--generate-ssh-keys --ssh-key-type Ed25519" parameters to generate Ed25519 SSH key when creating a VM
Yes that is true but one cannot store the key pair in the Key Vault
