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.

That’s why it is not surprising that the GitHub Actions engine, the infrastructure, the agents (runners in GitHub), and the concept are more or less the same as in Azure DevOps. And in some cases, GitHub Actions is even better. It can provide much more trigger conditions than Azure Pipelines. For instance GitHub Actions can react to changes in GitHub issues – in pull request comments, in Wiki pages, and in general to changes to any asset surrounding a GitHub project. These actions are lightweight functions, and the trigger framework can easily be extended with webhooks.

GitHub has its own build agents, which are called GitHub runners.
