You can create a service connection in the Azure portal by following these steps:
- Log in to the Azure portal: Access your Azure subscription using your credentials.
- Navigate to the Azure service you want to connect: For instance, if you want to connect to a virtual machine, go to Virtual Machines.
- Select the specific resource: Choose the particular VM you want to connect to.
- Go to the 'Connections' section: Locate the 'Connections' section in the resource's menu.
- Click 'Add connection': This option will allow you to create a new service connection.
- Select the connection type: Choose the type of connection you want to establish, such as SSH for Linux VMs or RDP for Windows VMs.
- Provide necessary details: Enter the required information, such as the connection name, username, and password.
- Review and create: Double-check the details and click 'Create' to finalize the service connection.
Important considerations:
- Security: Ensure you are using strong passwords and secure access methods.
- Permissions: Verify that the connection has the necessary permissions to interact with the service.
- Firewall rules: Check if the firewall on the service allows the connection from your chosen endpoint.
Example:
Let's say you want to connect to a Linux VM using SSH. In the 'Connections' section, select 'SSH' as the connection type. You will then need to provide details such as the SSH port number, username, and password.
Remember: The specific steps and options might vary slightly depending on the service you are connecting to.
