Adding additional environment to LCS project

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 95

I have recently joined a project that has one less environment available in LCS than was agreed upon in the SOW. I normally don't handle anything before LCS so I'm not sure how the customer can add another environment that we could see in LCS, to clarify, I'm speaking of the environment list on the right hand side as seen below. 

I did see this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/imp-lifecycle/environment-planning?toc=/dynamics365/commerce/toc.json#deployment-considerations-for-development-environments which mentions adding a standard add-on environment which I think is what we want, I know that a cloud based environment is an option that I am now considering but have been tasked with finding out how to add another environment here.

I did see this in the documentation "If you want to purchase add-on environments, we recommend that you work closely with your Cloud Solution Provider or License Service Reseller. Consider the potential lead time that occurs between the time when the order is placed and the time when the environment is deployed." Is that what I need to do, find out how these were purchased originally, be it a CSP or LSR.

Also curious what the lead time duration is if we were to put in an order for another environment, does anyone know the ETA on that?

Thank you.

    RE: Adding additional environment to LCS project

    This section shows Microsoft managed environments only. Purchased base license provides you 1 production, 1 standard acceptance test (also called "UAT" or "Sandbox") and 1 development environment. To add another environment in this list you need to purchase add-on license. There are different SKUs for various types of Sandbox and Development environments. It will take several days before the environment will be available for deployment. The deployment itself will take about 30 minutes (docs.microsoft.com/.../infrastructure-stack)

    If you have an Azure subscription you can connect it to the LCS project and deploy a DEMO/DEV environment to that subscription immediately. These will be shown in Cloud-hosted environments section
