QuickStart: Power Pipelines

[leighatami]

As a Terraform user, I want to be able to write a single terraform module that can configure Power Pipelines to manage Power Platform resources the same using tooling/processes that I use to manage Azure resources.

resource "powerplatform_environment" "pipelines_env" {

}

resource "powerplatform_application_package" "pipelines_app" {
  environment_id = pipelines_env.id
  package_name= "Power Pipelines"
}

resource "powerplatform_environment" "dev_env" {
  managed = true
}
resource "powerplatform_environment" "uat_env" {
  managed = true
}
resource "powerplatform_environment" "production_env" {
  managed = true
}

optional datasources for environment application packages

• Ran the Deployment Pipelines application in the Hack-Pipelines Environment
• Added Hack-Dev environment as a Development Environment
• Added Hack-Prod as a Target Environment
• Added a Pipeline called Hack Standard Pipeline and enabled AI-generated deployment notes
• Added Hack-Dev to the pipeline as an existing development environment
• Added a new deployment stage called Hack-Dev-Prod
  • Target environment: Hack-Prod
  • No previous deployment stage

• Added SharePoint site "HackDocs" with 2 document libraries - "HackDocs-Dev" and "HackDocs-Prod"
• Created a solution - Hack-Solution in the Hack-Dev environment including
  • Custom Connector to Azure OpenAI - uses Key1 in Dev environment
  • Environment Variable Env-Hack-AI-Deployment - set to "chat-gpt-35-16k" in dev environment
  • Environment Variable called HackDocsStore that contains the SharePoint URL for a site
  • Chatbot "HackChat" that calls a flow for fallback that calls the Azure OpenAI service using the deployment name in the EnvHack variable

Power Pipelines need managed environment microsoft/terraform-provider-power-platform#104 and the environment application microsoft/terraform-provider-power-platform#101 , currently we are working on both resources.

With that we can create the TF script.

Currently blocked on needing microsoft/terraform-provider-power-platform#278 and microsoft/terraform-provider-power-platform#45
