Settings up Team Services build to deploy to Azure Web App

Question

I'm trying to create a build in Team Services (Visual Studio Online) but am having a few issues.

My first step is to create a new build and I've selected the template Deployment -> Azure Web App

Then in the build step for Azure Deployment I need to select my Azure subscription. This list is currently empty so I select Manage to add a new one.

Following the instructions here I try to add a new endpoint but it says to select the one called 'Azure' but in my list I've got 'Azure Classic' and 'Azure Resource Manager'. Which one should I use?

I've tried 'Azure Resource Manager' and used the details to generate service key etc using the Powershell script as said in the previous link. Now the status just stay at 'Connecting to service using Service Principal' and is not selectable in the list.

How do I get Team Services to see my Azure subscription?

I must say, I've found the documentation for this a bit lacking in that a lot of the Microsoft sites still use the classic portal or older versions for the sites.

Starting from the end of your question, one of the reasons of that is that some functionality is not available yet on the new portal. As far as i know, all of the functionality should migrate to the new portal in a future.

For Azure Web App, please add the New Service Endpoint using classic mode (and i prefer to do that using certificate - very simple). Then, when adding the web site as the build step (for example), select your added subscription and you should be good to go.
