In second part of this post I will share how to actual deploy the AX on Azure.
Here is quick steps to setup/configuration your Azure with LifeCycle services
Step 1: Login you LCS services

Step: 3 Download management certification (file name : LifecycleServicesDeployment.cer)
This certificate will enable Lifecycle Services to communicate with Azure on your behalf. Download this management certificate to your local computer. Then, upload the management certificate to the Azure management portal (Settings > Management Certificates).
To  upload this certification Login into your Azure management portal.  Scroll down click on setting click on Management Certificate than click on “Upload Management certification”
