The Visual Studio (VS) IDE is a powerful development tool. Coupled with the massive list of development tools it provides, Visual Studio also allows servers to be managed.\u00a0 This capability provides an end-to-end development and test experience, with the power to provision infrastructure and services at the fingertips of the developer.<\/p>\n

MS Azure Government (MAG) is a completely isolated environment and as such requires\u00a0unique Azure endpoints in order to mange\u00a0the services offered there. MAG requires a management certificate to authenticate requests to the service management API behind the scenes in VS. The Publish Settings File<\/strong> contains both the unique endpoints and the management certificate. The following steps are similar across the various flavors of VS 2012, VS 2013 Community, and VS 2015 Preview.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Management Portal<\/strong> for MS Azure Government and download the Publish Settings File<\/strong> for your subscription.\n
      \n
    1. Link: https:\/\/manage.windowsazure.us\/publishsettings\/index<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Once your Publish Settings File<\/strong> is downloaded, in Visual Studio, right click on the Server Explorer<\/strong> and select Manage Subscriptions<\/strong>.\n
        \n
      1. \n

        \"\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

      2. Navigate to the Certificates<\/strong> Tab<\/strong> and click the Import Button<\/strong>.\n
          \n
        1. \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        2. In the Import Microsoft Azure Subscriptions<\/strong> Dialog<\/strong>, browse to the location on disk where you saved the Publish Settings File<\/strong> in Step 1 and click the Import<\/strong> Button<\/strong>.\n
            \n
          1. \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
          2. NOTE: The publish settings file provides the management endpoint for each subscription (in a property called the ServiceManagementUrl)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          3. Verify that the MS Azure Government Regions populate on the Regions Tab<\/strong>\n
              \n
            1. \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Well, that’s it.\u00a0\u00a0Happy provisioning your Azure Government\u00a0infrastructure and services via the Visual Studio IDE!<\/p>\n
