MS article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/linux/connect-to-your-remote-linux-computer?view=msvc-170 says:
"RSA keys were also not supported in VS 17.10 and VS 17.11 but are supported again in VS 17.12 and later"
Right now I have VS 17.12.4 installed and RSA private key doesn't work for remote ssh connection (I have got info that key is unsupported). Tried with ECDSA and it works good but I have to use RSA one.
