How Not To Create Your Service Principals for VSTS/ARM Connections

Hello! I’ve recently started a new project, and we’re going to use VSTS for the build and release pipeline. This includes deploying infrastructure from ARM templates. This is going to provide its own set of challenges, in that the VSTS Team is new and there is no authentication between VSTS and the Subscription the objects are deploying to. So it really is a “green field” project. But this is a good thing, as we get to deploy as much as we can from source control and limit the interaction with the Azure Portal.
