Hi there,
We are gaining experience with Deployment Pipelines. Microsoft Documentation says: "All target environments used in a pipeline must be enabled as Managed Environments."
In fact I was able to use an unmanaged environment as target environment. Is that known or experienced by others? Can problems occur and if so, what are they?
Hi, in my pipeline setup for an experiment I was able to successfully use 4 environments as follows:
1) Host Environment: Dataverse: YES; Managed: No Type: Trial
2) Prod Environment: Dataverse: YES; Managed: Yes Type: Developer (so no cost while developing/testing)
3) Test Environment: Dataverse: YES; Managed: Yes Type: Developer (so no cost while developing/testing)
4) Dev Environment: Dataverse: YES; Managed: Yes Type: Developer (so no cost while developing/testing)
hi @gralls
I have a PowerApps premium licence (per user).
Until now I defined my pipeline this way:
Host pipeline environment (sandbox type environment and unmanaged)
Dev & Test environment (sandbox type and unmanaged)
Target environment (production type and unmanaged)
I didn't notice any issue when deploying my solutions/apps from Dev to Production.
Now I reorganized my environments due to capacity issues and I've defined my pipeline (I think according with documentation) this way:
Host pipeline environment : Production type unmanaged.
Dev & Test : Developper type unmanaged
Target : Production type managed
Best regards
Thanks for bringing this up! When you say "I was able to use an unmanaged environment as target environment." which environment(s) in the pipeline was unmanaged? I've looked into, but not actually tested, having Dev and Test as Managed but Prod as Unmanged (for licensing reasons - we're in Higher Ed) and found it not to be feasible. While I'd still be reluctant to use this even if it works, since MS says it shouldn't work and could enforce that at any time and shut down my pipeline, I'd love to know more about what you found to work.
Hi @KR_Conport
Yes I have used unmanaged environment as target environment in pipelines without apparent issues.
And I have the same doubt as you.
Also it is not clear for me the type of environment that I should use to host pipelines (production?, sandbox?, developper?)
