Read the first 6 Solution Management and ALM flashcards as text
In Power Platform, what is a 'Solution' used for?
Answer: Package components such as apps, flows, tables, and plugins for transport between environments
Solutions are containers that bundle Power Platform components so they can be exported from one environment and imported into another.
What is the key difference between a Managed and Unmanaged Solution in Power Platform?
Answer: Managed solutions lock components in the target environment; unmanaged solutions allow full customization
Importing a Managed Solution restricts editing its components in the target environment, while Unmanaged Solutions allow modification.
What is a 'Publisher' in the context of a Power Platform solution?
Answer: An entity that defines the unique prefix applied to custom component names to avoid naming conflicts
A Publisher sets the customization prefix (e.g., 'abc_') prepended to all custom column and table names within the solution.
In Power Platform ALM, what is the recommended environment strategy for a production deployment pipeline?
Answer: Development → Test/UAT → Production environments
Microsoft recommends a minimum of three environments: Development for building, Test/UAT for validation, and Production for live use.
What does the Power Platform 'Pipelines' feature automate?
Answer: Deployment of solutions from one environment to another with governance controls
Power Platform Pipelines provide a maker-friendly deployment process that promotes solutions through linked environments with approvals.
In a Power Platform solution, what are 'Solution Layers' used to show?
Answer: The order in which customizations from different solutions are applied to a component
Solution Layers display how multiple solutions have customized the same component and in what priority order those changes merge.
