Deploy a REST API Bot Framework bot to Microsoft Teams in GCC High

Question

We have a Teams bot application developed in Java exclusively using the Bot Framework REST API. From the implementation perspective, the bot is just a REST endpoint in our ERP system.

We use the Teams Developer portal https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/apps to create a deployment package/manifest for publishing to MS Teams.

I understand that a bot application runs in the context of a specific Azure tenant as a Multitenant application, and a bot runs in the context of the Bot Framework service.

That is all fine and works as expected.

Now we have a requirement to provide the same bot service to our GCC High users. The bot app must be deployed to GCC High tenant, and run in Teams/Office365 in GCC High.

I don’t see the option to run a Teams Developer Portal for GCC High tenant, or maybe it is, but I cannot find it.

Could you please provide instructions on deploying our bot to MS Teams in GCC High environments?

One more time: we do not use the Bot Framework SDK, our bot is implemented in basic REST API and JSON.

Thanks!

Hi @Boris Rusinovic

Developer Portal isn't available for GCC-High and Department of Defense (DOD) tenants. However, you can use a regular tenant to build an app in Developer Portal, download the app, and upload the app using Microsoft Graph to a national cloud. For more information, see national cloud deployments.
