Which VM directory is the SSL "Key" stored when using Azure KeyVault?

I can see mycert.cert and mycert.prv but there is no "SSL Key" in the /var/lib/waagent directory of the VM I just created.

Deployed an nginx webserver, with SSL cert, using cloud-init, on ubuntu 17.10 VM using Azure KeyVault per the official instructions here.
Installed Jupyter Hub on the VM using the official instructions here.
Now I'd like to add the SSL key and cert to the Jupyter Hub config file per these instructions. Its asking for this format:

jupyterhub --ip x.x.x.x --port 443 --ssl-key my_ssl.key --ssl-cert my_ssl.cert

Where is this ssl.key file?

Any help is much appreciated.

The `.prv` file is likely the "private" key. It can have a few different extensions. .key, .pem, .prv, etc. – vcsjones May 28 '18 at 02:43
Thank you for the response. So the .prv file = the .key file? Is there any references for this? With all the worry about "exposing your private keys" you'd think this would be more straightforward. – SeaDude May 28 '18 at 07:30

@SeaDude, it seems to be referred to as a private key. Based on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/tutorial-secure-web-server#create-a-cloud-init-config-to-secure-nginx – Aimal Khan Jun 21 '21 at 18:17
