See original GitHub issue

after successful run of az group deployment create for kubernetes arm from acs-engine, I try

FYI - if you used anything other than /root/.ssh/id_rsa for your SSH key to provision the cluster, then it will not properly authorize to get the credentials. The solution is to add the --ssh-key-file parameter with the path to the SSH key used to provision the cluster. This is enabled in az cli equal or greater to: azure-cli (0.1.1b2+dev) acs (0.1.1b1+dev)
