Managing Windows Azure Subscription Settings
Updated: January 15, 2013
Applies To: System Center 2012 - App Controller, System Center 2012 SP1 - App Controller
In order to add a Windows Azure subscription, you first need to create and export a Personal Information Exchange certificate (.pfx). This certificate is used as a service certificate and is needed for creating a remote desktop connection. For more information about how to create and export certificates for connections to Windows Azure subscriptions, see How to Connect to Public Clouds.
When you remove a Windows Azure subscription, services and library resources associated with that public cloud will no longer be visible in the App Controller console; however they will not be removed from the associated Windows Azure subscription.
