Get Makers back to making and learn how to start letting Pipelines in Power Platform do the rest! Begin configuring automated deployment pipelines in minutes rather than days or weeks. Regardless of current knowledge or where you're at in your ALM journey, Pipelines intuitive user experience allows for easy automated deployment of your solutions.
