Small but noticeable: SSH Service in TFS 2015 Update 3

One of the features introduced in TFS 2015 Update 3 is the backport from VSTS of SSH access for Git repositories.

ssh2

There is a very nice document on how to use it, so I am not going to look at that, but what is interesting is what happens on the server at upgrade time.

You can decide whether to enable the service or not:

ssh0

and this will automatically create its firewall rule:

ssh1

Moreover, you can manage the service from the Administration Console:

A small touch, but much appreciated from an administrative point of view Smile
