Hi @richb201,
If you already copied the content of your public key (the .pub file) to the authorized_keys file in the VM, you just need to ensure that the private key (the id_rsa file you created before) has the correct permissions after using it with the ssh command. Instead of using any .pem file, you need to use the id_rsa file.
sudo chmod 600 id_rsa
ssh -i ./id_rsa bitnami@SERVER-IP
I'll share your feedback with our documentation team so they can improve those sections in our docs
Happy to help!
