I am trying to add a host from azure environment. While I have updated the azure.conf file as follows, my host gets the following error. Nothing goes past it:

Looks like the yaml parsing is failing.
please check your indentation and make sure that you are checking lines like:
```
pem_management_cert:/root/vOneCloud.pem
```
try to left after : the proper space and put values in quotation marks for better readibility (i think that they are not mandatory).
