Business value

Tenant admins can instantly associate their environment group’s development environments with a pipeline. This allows makers to use that pipeline from the moment they land on the Pipelines page in the maker portal. We have simplified the meticulous process of creating environmental records for each development environment in the pipelines host. We link them to a pipeline, turning a multi-hour process into one that takes less than two minutes.

Feature details

To make all the environments in an organization easier to manage in bulk, placing them in an environment group is the best way. Now, admins can choose a centrally governed pipeline to be associated with each development environment in the group, making it ready to use for all makers in those development environments. Setting up pipelines has never been easier and can be done in minutes!
