Service Connection（サービスコネクション）の認証について

Question

Service Connection認証の
「using publish profile based authentication（発行プロファイルでの認証）」
「using service principal authentication（サービスプリンシパルでの認証）」
この２つの違いについて教えてほしいです。

現在サービスプリンシパルによる認証から発行プロファイルを使った認証へ切り替えようと考えています。
なので特に、切り替えた際のメリットデメリットなどを教えてください。
よろしくお願いいたします。

Thank you for your post!

Service Principle authentication:
Azure AD service principals provide access to Azure resources within your subscription. You can think of a service principal as a user identity for a service, where "service" is any application, service, or platform that needs to access the resources. You can configure a service principal with access rights scoped only to those resources you specify. Then, configure your application or service to use the service principal's credentials to access those resources. For more info on Service principles.

To help answer your question regarding publish profile based authentication, is this a specific service in AzureAD? Or what platform are you using this on?

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thank you!
