The <code><Insert public key></code> must be replaced with the public key to use for that user. After the VM has finished spawning, take a look at the log to ensure that the public keys have been added correctly for those users. The log can be found by click the name of the instance under the "Compute->Instances" panel and then selecting the "log" tab.  The log should show something like:

Note that YAML is very picky about white space formatting, so that there must be a space after the "-" before your public key string. Also, this configuration overwrites the default user that is added when no CloudInit script is specified, so that the users listed in this configuration script will be the only users on the newly created VM so it is important to have at least one user with sudo permission. More users can be added by simply including another <code>- name: username</code> section.

Once this is done, users can log into the VM with their private keys as usual (see [[ssh keys]]).
