Deleting Service Endpoint in Visual Studio - azure-devops

We are doing some testing using the Continuous Deployment feature of Azure Web Apps, which created a Service Endpoint in our corresponding visualstudio.com account.
We deleted the Web App we were testing with before deleting the service endpoint and now when we go to delete the service endpoint it won't let us because it can't find the web app.
How can we get this service endpoint object removed from our visualstudio.com account?

The workaround is that you can create a new Azure Web App with the same name, then you can delete the service endpoint.
There is the feedback that you can vote: VSTS can't delete service endpoint that created through Azure Web App Continuous Delivery

Azure Service Connections

I'm trying to create a release pipeline in Azure DevOps. I created an App service resource in Azure and I want to deploy my web-app to this App service through my pipeline. For that I need to create an ARM service connection. Can you please help me with understanding the difference between the types of service connections? Thanks!
What is the difference between Service Principal (automatic) and Service Principal (manual) ?
What is the difference between service principal, managed identity and publish profile?
What is the difference between Service Principal (automatic) and Service Principal (manual) ?
Service Principal (automatic): It will create an AD App along with the service principal in Azure AD for you automatically and use it in the service connection.
Service Principal (manual): You need to create the AD App along with the service principal manually in Azure AD and configure it when you create the service connection.
What is the difference between service principal, managed identity and publish profile?
When you create an AD App(App Registration) in Azure AD, it will create a service principal for you automatically in your Azure AD.
The managed identity is essentially a service principal in your AAD managed by Azure, you can use it to access azure resources in the subscription.
The publish profile is a file used to publish your web app or web job, it includes a username and password, it uses the basic auth to deploy your web app, if you use service principal/managed identity, it uses Azure AD auth.

Web Service in Azure

I am trying to recreate a web service in Azure.
The web service needs to get data from an Azure database that needs to be exposed to SharePoint online.
The only options when I get when creating a web service in the azure Portal are as follows
Web App
Web App + SQL
Function App
Do I need to create a Function app instead?. Is a Function app equivalent to an On premise Web service.
It depends on what kind of web service you want to host in Azure. E. g. if you have a dotnet / dotnet Core REST API, you probably want to create an API App (just search for API App).

VSTS ARM Service Endpoint for national cloud environments

I am trying to create a Release Definition from my VSTS instance in west Europe to deploy an App in the Azure German Cloud. I tried creating an ARM Service Endpoint but it seems it tried to use by default the service management management.core.windows.net and the endpoint in Germany.
I've also tried using an Azure classic but I keep getting an authentication error: There was an error with the Azure credentials used for the deployment....the user I am using for that has owner role in my subscription. Besides Azure Classic Service Endpoint are deprecated.
Is there any way to change the environment endpoints for the Service Endpoint.
Any restrictions trying to deploy to the German cloud from a VSTS instance in west Europe?

Azure mobile service log in credentials

I created an Azure mobile service and published the sample project that the website provides. When I try to visit the service from browser using my service URL (an example is https://test.azure-mobile.net/help), service is asking me for credentials. I tried using the Azure credentials but they don't work.
What credentials is it asking?\
You can use the application key or the master key from your mobile service. In the Azure portal, go to your mobile service and in the dashboard select the manage keys option on the bottom of the page. You should use this key as the password, and any value (even empty) for the user name.

Add workflowControlEndpoint to all hosted workflow services

Is there any way to add this endpoint to all .xamlx workflow services hosted in an IIS site? We allow users to generate dynamic workflow services so we don't have wcf endpoints configured in a web.config. I want some way of adding the control endpoint to all hosted workflow services without having to alter the web.config each time a service is created by a user.
