Mastering DevOps on Microsoft Power Platform

Mastering DevOps on Microsoft Power Platform

By: Uroš Kastelic, József Zoltán Vadkerti

Overview of this book

Mastering DevOps on Microsoft Power Platform is your guide to revolutionizing business-critical solution development. Written by two Microsoft Technology Specialists with extensive experience in enterprise-scale Power Platform implementations and DevOps practices, this book teaches you how to design, build, and secure efficient DevOps processes by adapting custom software development practices to the Power Platform toolset, dramatically reducing time, cost, and errors in app modernization and quality assurance. The book introduces application life cycle management (ALM) and DevOps-enabled architecture, design patterns, and CI/CD practices, showing you why companies adopt DevOps with Power Platform. You'll master environment and solution management using Dataverse, Git, the Power Platform CLI, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Copilot. Implementing the shift-left approach in DevSecOps using GitHub Advanced Security features, you’ll create a Power Platform tenant governed by controls, automated tests, and backlog management. You’ll also discover advanced concepts, such as fusion architecture, pro-dev extensibility, and AI-infused applications, along with tips to avoid common pitfalls. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build CI/CD pipelines from development to production, enhancing the life cycle of your business solutions on Power Platform.

In the GitHub repository, we will find the following prebuilt GitHub workflows to manage the life cycle of our development project, end to end:

  1. Set up a dev environment GitHub workflow: Located under .github/workflows/setup-dev-environment.yml, this workflow creates a developer branch with the name provided before the workflow execution (the branch name follows the naming rule, dev/branch_name). The pipeline spins up a Power Platform developer environment with the same name used for the branch. We need to add the work account that we use in the Power Platform tenant to create the developer environment on behalf of our account. At the end of the workflow, we can see additional steps that grant System Administrator rights to our work account and to the service principal that we created for the production environment earlier. Let’s execute this workflow with the following parameters:
