knife azure server create  --azure-dns-name 'azurelocalinstance' --azure-vm-name 'LinuxInstance' --azure-vm-size Medium -I 03f55de797f546a1b29d1b8d66be687a__Jenkins272-Ubuntu1404LTS2016-09-13 --azure-service-location "Southeast Asia" --ssh-user myuser --identity-file D:/ACE_Dev/Keys/AZURE_LINUX_KEYS/azure_linux_id_rsa

Waiting for virtual machine to reach status 'provisioning'.................vm state 'provisioning' reached after 2.87 minutes.

DNS Name: azurelocalinstance.cloudapp.net
VM Name: LinuxInstance

Azure Source Image: 03f55de797f546a1b29d1b8d66be687a__Jenkins272-Ubuntu1404LTS2016-09-13
Azure Service Location: Southeast Asia
Public Ip Address: 13.76.143.3
Private Ip Address: 100.104.98.32
SSH Port: 22
Environment: _default

Waiting for sshd on 13.76.143.3:22done

Connecting to 13.76.143.3
Password: 
Failed to authenticate myuser - trying password auth
Enter your password:
ERROR: Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: Authentication failed for user [email protected]@13.76.143.3

Error the problem i faced was while trying to bootstrap the ssh authentication fails even though the rsa file is specified

the rsa key is genereated by the following code 

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

any help is appreciated in advance

You need to configure the SSH key on the Azure side too. Simply providing a private key does nothing if the server is not configured to accept it. Knife automatically falls back to password authentication if the key fails (to mimic the behavior of OpenSSH).
