the key automatically picked up when connecting to the server? And if there are several keys for different servers? (this is not about azure servers, but in general).

Answer 1

When connecting to the server, the key is automatically picked up either by the standard one:
c:/Users/YourUserName/.ssh/id_rsa
Most often, 1 key is used for all administered servers. Otherwise, you must specify a key for each server in the c:/Users/YourUserName/.ssh/config file, for example

Host myserver1
HostName server1.example.com
User username1
IdentityFile c:/Users/YourUserName/.ssh/id_rsa-1

Host myserver2
HostName server2.example.com
User username2
IdentityFile c:/Users/YourUserName/.ssh/id_rsa-2

In addition, it will be possible to connect to these servers using an alias from the config:
ssh myserver2
