Essential ALM Tooling for Power Platform
Up until this point, we have discussed the basics of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) in general, as well as the specifics of the Power Platform. This chapter will explain the different tools we have to run our automated Power Platform deployments.
This includes an overview of pipelines in Power Platform, the ALM Accelerator, GitHub, and Azure DevOps. Azure DevOps and GitHub are tools that support more or less the whole of ALM, as discussed earlier. The ALM Accelerator and pipelines in Power Platform only support the automated deployment part of an ALM process.
We’ll cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Pipelines in Power Platform
- ALM Accelerator
- Azure DevOps/GitHub
- Selecting the appropriate tool
