Set up pipeline environments in Microsoft Power Platform

Pipelines in Microsoft Power Platform reduce the effort and skills required to implement healthy, automated application lifecycle management (ALM) processes for your Microsoft Power Platform solutions. In this module, you explore how to configure host environments to support pipelines.

Create a pipeline in Microsoft Power Platform

You learn how to create and share personal pipelines in Microsoft Power Platform. By using the pipelines, you can deploy solutions from a source environment to a target environment without needing to manage exporting and importing solution files manually.

Extend a pipeline in Microsoft Power Platform

If you need to add actions during various stages of a deployment that you launch with pipelines in Microsoft Power Platform, consider extending the pipelines with Power Automate cloud flows. With these cloud flows, you have full extensibility and can add approvals and actions for different data sources.

Deploy a Microsoft Power Platform solution by using a service principal

Pipelines in Microsoft Power Platform offer support for service principal authentication. As a result, flows that use this connector aren't disrupted if the individual who normally uses it leaves the organization or if their account is deactivated.
