@@Tiyani365 right on point. we should chat sometimes about D365 over coffee. There's actually 2 ways to do pipelines. This way and also the devops way, which can allow you to also point to specific code in cases where you might have externally running code
Hi there, thanks for the video. I deployed a solution (managed) in production environment using Pipeline. If I need to make changes to the flows/app afterwards, i.e. to o update the solution, how to go about that?
For this deployment process it’s managed solutions. You can use the service account to run your deployment as this simplifies things and consider using environment variables in other cases where values a different for your flows
you can definitely create the JSON deployment settings file using pac command and link it to one of the steps in your pipeline, for each environment. on the step there's a checkbox when checked it allows you specify the deployment settings file. I have a detailed video coming soon regarding this so stay tuned.
I noticed a new security role called "Deployment Pipeline Default" when I was trying to add roles. I haven’t seen any mention of this in the documentation. Does anyone know more about it or could provide some guidance?
you are correct power platform pipelines don't currently support multi-geo regions. I would suggest to use azure DevOps/GitHub action as you have much control of each stage. I will check with the team and give more feedback regarding this.
Hey @JavidBahramzy, if you use C# plugins, plugin steps, JavaScript, or even custom web resources, all of these components will be deployed to the target Power Platform environment as part of the process.
@@Tiyani365 yes but regarding the build and release pipeline, how would you handle these custom code components like plugins and JavaScript? I mean the assembly containing plugins and all its dependencies must be built, packaged and added to the solution. Does the DevOps build tools for power platform have tasks to support that. The examples I have seen about power platform build tools only show exporting and importing solutions containing standard components. Are custom components like Plugins, Custom workflow activities and JavaScript also supported? Are there any examples and best practices?
Hi @JavidBahramzy, This process is a bit different from Azure DevOps. It's designed to streamline deployments between environments, but the configuration options are still ramping up (Microsoft's definitely working on expanding them though!). If you need more control and customization, I'd recommend checking out Azure DevOps. It lets you run scripts to build your code and even use deployment settings files for those specific tweaks.
100% you can deploy unmanaged solutions but keep in mind that best practice for production deployments is managed as this makes it easy to roll-back if something goes wrong
You came through for me
😉 Glad you like it

could you cover delegated deployments and more importantly the approval process that is required with them?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it

I'm no DevOps person but this is something I need, deployment night will never be the same, thanks Tiyani. indeed #1000subs
Thanks Cathy
How about deployment settings - environment variables and connections? Where do we specify these?
you can definitely create the JSON deployment settings file using pac command and link it to one of the steps in your pipeline, for each environment. on the step there's a checkbox when checked it allows you specify the deployment settings file.

What licence is required to create Power Platform pipelines
Great stuff! From the video, it seems the PP Pipelines does not support multi-geo environment/region. What do you suggest for such scenario? Thanks

why solutions are deployed as managed?
Great video Tiyani
Thanks @owenwetherow glad you like it
Great video, learned some good tips
Great to hear you’re getting value
How would you handle custom C# and JavaScript code? For example Plugins and form scripts?

Is it possible to select deploy unmanaged solution, instead of the managed one?
100% you can deploy unmanaged solutions but keep in mind that best practice for production deployments is managed as this makes it easy to roll-back if something goes wrong
Each time we need to create a new solution?
When using managed solutions it’s not a must but you can still create a new one every time depending on the requirements
@@Tiyani365 hi, is there any way to set the power automate flow owner from this deployments
@@aravindreddyakiti480 you can by changing the owner of the flow to service principal application before deployment
