Description
Currently, the user has to specify a username for MC2, and a second username for authentication for launched Azure VMs.
We should consolidate this and have the user only input one username to simplify the configuration process - changes will have to made in the various places in the codebase that load in the config ssh_user field. Instead of loading in the Azure config ssh_user field, we should load in the global config user field.

Research direction
Compare the username entries in demo/config.yaml and demo/azure.yaml, then trace the codebase locations returned by the ssh_user search. Update those configuration loads so Azure VM authentication uses the global user field, and confirm that only one username is required in the configuration.
