Depending on the Azure tasks you use in your Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) builds and releases, you will need different connections to Azure. In this post I will show you how to create an Azure Service Endpoint using a certificate.

Create Service Endpoint

1. Log in to VSTS and select a project
2. Click the manage project gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page
3. Select the Services tab
4. Select Azure from the New Service Endpoint drop down
5. Select the Certificate Based radio button
6. Click the publish settings file link at the bottom of the dialog
7. Save the publish setting file
8. Open the publish setting file in an editor
9. Locate the correct subscription

   Field	Value
   Connection Name	{AnyValueYouLike}
   Subscription Id	Id value from publish settings file
   Subscription Name	Name value from publish settings file
   Management Certificate	ManagementCertficate value from the publish settings file

10. Click OK
