Important Notes: 1 - The new Developer environments can be used in pipelines for dev & QA w/o needing premium licenses. Only end users in the prod env will ultimately need premium licenses (and not until pipelines GA). Makers won't need unless they're also an end user in prod. 2 - Environment Type can be Production, Developer, Sandbox etc. (only Dataverse for Teams based environments are not supported) 3 - All environments part of a pipeline configuration must be in same region as host environment for Pipeline. 4 - You can create multiple host environments. 5 - You can create upto 7 stages in pipeline configuration.

Thank you so much for this, Reza. It is amazingly helpful! Several follow up questions: ENVIRONMENTS: (1) Does Sarah only need to be added as a Maker in the Pipeline Orchestrator & Dev Zone Environments? (2) What should her access level be in the Test & Prod Zones? SECURITY ROLES: (3) How should Sarah's Security roles be configured in order to have proper access to this solution in the Dev, Test, and Prod Zones? (4)Are there any other roles beyond the Pipeline User that she would need? USERS: (5) What would the best practice(s) be for user addition to/management in the Test and Prod Zones? (6) When sharing the app with new users, does it matter which environment the "share" link is sent from? DATA STORAGE: (7) Let's say an App developed in Dev Zone leverages Dataverse for record storage. Once ready, that App is deployed in Prod Zone. Will users in Prod Zone still be able to enter/read data in the table through the Prod Zone App, even if they cannot see the Dataverse table itself? Apologies if these have already been answered. If you have other videos explaining these, please do link them.

First of all, thanks for this demo Reza, it really helped to get started, now while the approach seems to be very helpful to make your deployment process more straightforward, we have found a little glitch that is preventing us from approving this tool for general use, the issue is with Environment Variables, seems that for some variables (not all, even if they are the same type), the value on the destination environment gets overwritten with the one set on Dev, for example, let's say that you set your values on QA on a first deployment and don't expect to update them later, so you ensure the values are set in Dev too so you are not prompted for those values again, run the pipeline process and then when looking at QA variables have been overwritten, curiously enough if we do it with the manual deployment process this doesn't seem to happen. 🤷‍♂

You can use free DevOps with a Pipeline to avoid this as you can set the variables in YAML or through the Pipeline steps. Also, with DevOps you do not need to run Managed Environments so you avoid the full licensing costs required for Managed Environments.

Since the Stages & pipelines are managed as Dataverse records now, do you think we can potentially do some automation with Power Automate like we did to DevOps CI/CD pipelines? For example what we did in DevOps pipeline was: DEV deployed to TEST (manually triggered) -> On completion, approval email send to QA for validation / testing in TEST environment -> On approved, the deployment of TEST to PROD is automatically triggered without the need of manual action from user.

Thank you @Reza Dorrani ! Your video is awesome as usual and the V1 Pipelines are great! I have 2 questions regarding the video. 1. You mentioned that the host environment does not need to have Managed Env enabled, but all environments that will be part of the pipeline deployment process should. Does this apply to DEV environment as well? (usually DEV env is unmanaged) 2. The entire experience requires Microsoft Dataverse. That means we need to have Dataverse licensing even though all our apps in the solution are based on SharepointLists? It would be really great to be able to set up the pipelines even though we do not (yet) have Dataverse. Thank you in advance for your reply! Keep up the great job !

1 - Dev needs to be a managed environment.

Thank you Reza for the video. This is extremely useful. The only concern I have with this is that all the environments have to be managed environments. This might work well for a small company but for an organization with +-28000 users this is not feasible. Microsoft's licensing model needs a serious review, its just not practical. We would love to benefit from the ALM capabilities for our environments but the cost will be too high. We implemented DevOps pipelines for this, however its clunky and this seems more straightforward and intuitive. Secondly, does the pipelines allow for approval between deployment steps at the moment? Based on your demo, I haven't noticed any settings in relation to that. I will set up my own lab to investigate the capabilities as well.

Documentation would be the best recommendation. I make videos when I receive multiple requests on a topic. Every quarter I ask subscribers for topic suggestions on Community Tab of my channel. Most voted idea gets added to my backlog. Make sure to post this idea whenever I post the next topic suggestion post.

Hi Reza, great video and introduction to the topic. I just followed your steps and created a pipeline but I intentionally ignored setting the involved environments to manged. I also got the note in the pipeline App that only managed environments are support but ignored it. Even though I was able to deploy a simple App through the pipeline. Am I missing something, has there been an update or is using only managed environments more an advise than an actual limitation?

@@RezaDorrani thanks for sharing the news here which is brand new from yesterday. So from what I see "enforcing use of Managed Environments in pipelines will come in the second half of 2023". So it is a good Idea to implement it already so everything keeps running smoothly in the future :)

Hi Reza, great stuff, concise and clear as ever. One question around Publishing: when you export solutions manually the UI always prompts you to Publish Customisations (which you should do if you haven't already!). Do you know if Power Pipelines remove the need to Publish all, or is this still a recommended manual step before triggering the deployment?

Thanks! Pipelines I believe does a publish prior to exporting but no harm in performing that action prior to publishing.

@@RezaDorrani it would be odd if it didn't publish first, but as you say, no harm in making sure (except I find it often times out manually!)

If the deployment to test is a managed solution, then how do you change environment variables? For instance... have an environment variable for a SharePoint list that points to a DEV list, TEST list and Prod list.

When you import, it will ask you to add info for env variables. managed solution does not mean components cannot be edited. You cannot change them within solution context but they can be updated in context of environment. There is a default solution for env where all these components would also live in which can be updated.

Could we apply approval/reject logic in the pipleline?

Hi Reza, First of all thanks for such useful video. I tried this but it's not asking to configure key vault values. Is there any way out for this?

I have not tried specifically with key vault but it should ask for the same. Ensure you follow steps shown in video for environment variables prior to deploying solution. I may have also shown that in a separate video on environment variables.

Reza, thank you so much for this excellent tutorial on the new Power Platform Pipeline feature. I was able to follow it almost perfectly until index time of 9:32. This is where you demo Sarah deploying to the Dev environment. At this point she is prompted to enter a value for the solution's environment variable Banner Text. But in my test solution, I am not being prompted to enter a value for my solution's environment variable. What might be keeping it from prompting me in the same fashion? Thanks in advance.

Depends on the steps you took prior to exporting solution. Check my video on solution exporting. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqNhttiTabGZcrA.html

@@RezaDorrani I am a little bit confused by your reply. The point of pipelines is that you should not have to export anymore, you would build in the dev environment then run the pipeline. What am I missing? Updating environment variable values is a pain - what Ken is experiencing - and I am trying to figure out how pipelines can help. Ken, I suspect your environment variable is already set with a value or a default value.
