To publish an application from Visual Studio, you only need to have the cluster security certificate added to Cert:Current UserMy store or Cert:Local MachineMy store. Visual Studio automatically adds the following configuration to the published profile of your application:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<PublishProfile xmlns =" http:// schemas.microsoft.com/ 2015/ 05/ fabrictools" > 
  <ClusterConnectionParameters 
    ConnectionEndpoint ="[your cluster dns name]:19000" 
    X509Credential =" true" 
    ServerCertThumbprint =" [cluster certificate thumbprint]" 
    FindType =" FindByThumbprint" 
    FindValue =" [cluster certificate thumbprint]" 
    StoreLocation =" CurrentUser" 
    StoreName =" My" /> 
  <ApplicationParameterFile Path =".. ApplicationParameters Cloud.xml" /> 
</PublishProfile >
