Custom ALM for Power Platform with GitHub

Monday, well started with a bit of cold, yet last week’s summary has its deserved mentioning: pipes, plugs, joints and blocks; more formally spoken as actions/workflows, APIs, events / hooks & automations leveraging tools from Power Platform & GitHub POC worked fine, yet work in progress with configuring / building a custom ALM for Power Platform with GitHub, considering convenience yet extensible capabilities for more complex releases. Focusing on most out-of-box tools put together as building blocks: #GitHubactions, #PACCLI, #GitHubAPI and automation / orchestration using #PowerAutomate & Build configurations … for sure it’s fun to put moving parts in a harmony to do repetitive work smartly

So, why Power Automates on top of GitHub workflows?

“extensibility using low/no code tools for release specific tasks like copy config data and/or more complicated tasks through PA UI experience” … these power automates provision extension points for users (build admins) to hook into custom release specific Power Automates, ADF pipelines, or even prod code like Azure Batch Service / Functions, and/or PowerShell to do any sort of release specific tasks. The idea is similar, as in Power Platform Pipelines for Makers where it provides hook for Pre/Post steps to execute custom logic
