SSH into a VM with the following error: (PuTTY key format too new)

 

Was trying to login a VM with PUTTY/SOLAR PUTTY but hit with this error. 

First, ensure you have your private key saved in a text file. Then fire up putty gen, the click on the "Load" button to load your private key file. 

Next, follow the instruction here: https://superuser.com/questions/1647896/putty-key-format-too-new-when-using-ppk-file-for-putty-ssh-key-authentication

After that, click "Save private key". 

Connecting to your VM 

Next, you should be able to connect to your VM by using this key.
