Business value

Pipelines will eliminate much of today's application lifecycle management (ALM) complexity by bringing ALM automation into the product and making it accessible to all makers, admins, and developers. Pipelines significantly reduce the barriers to adopting healthy, enterprise-grade ALM. Admins can easily set up automated ALM pipelines in minutes (compared to days or weeks). Makers can run these repeatable pipelines without any prior knowledge of advanced DevOps concepts.

Feature details

Pipelines simplify application lifecycle management for makers of various skill levels, admins, and professional developers. They provide more control and better visibility with less effort.

  • Set up automated deployment pipelines in just a few minutes.
  • Makers can initiate deployments without leaving their Power Platform environment or solution context.
  • Connections and environment variable values are collected while initiating a deployment.
  • Developers can initiate deployments from the command line with less effort.
  • Admins have full visibility of all deployment activity across the tenant or within their business group.
