Have you ever wished you could automatically export your Dataverse solutions, back up your Power Platform work, or finally start using DevOps like the pros? In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you EXACTLY how to build your first Azure DevOps pipeline — even if you’ve never touched DevOps before. In this video, you’ll learn how to: ✅ Connect Azure DevOps securely to Dataverse ✅ Create an App Registration the right way ✅ Set up a Power Platform service connection ✅ Build and run your first pipeline ✅ Export solutions (Managed + Unmanaged) ✅ Unpack solutions into source control ✅ Fix the common “Build Service permission” error …and much more 👀 Whether you're a beginner or levelling up your ALM game, this is the perfect starting point. 🔥 Why this matters Most Power Platform makers and developers struggle with: ❌ No environment backups ❌ No version history ❌ Lost work after unwanted changes ❌ Manual deployments ❌ Zero visibility of what changed ❌ Cross-tenant deployments taking forever A pipeline fixes ALL of that. Once you build this foundation, you’ll be ready for: ⚙️ Automated deployments 📦 Multi-environment ALM 🛡 Security and governance controls 🧪 Fully automated testing 📘 Auto-documentation 🌍 Cross-tenant DevOps …and everything else needed for enterprise-grade Power Platform development. 💬 Comment below!
