Setting up Azure DevOps

To get started, there are some things we have to do within ADO. Some of the following configurations are ADO Organization-wide and some have to be done per project or even repository.

Note

In some cases, you might want to use the same ADO project and still target different pipeline streams. For example, there could be one ADO project called Power Platform Initiative (PPI), which should contain all development related to Power Platform. It might be part of a bigger organization-wide setup. Within this PPI project, we have to handle apps for different departments (HR, finance, marketing, and so on). All those departments would have separate Dataverse environments and repositories in the PPI ADO project.

Installing Power Platform Build Tools

The first thing we have to do is install the Microsoft Power Platform Build Tools.
