generating deployable package from VSTS with build server alone

Posted on by Kathiravan 215

Hi,

Currently we have D365FO cloud hosted environments dev and build environment.

We generate deployable package via online VSTS build process.

we planned to shutdown cloud hosted dev environment.

Is it possible to generate deployable package from VSTS with Build server alone (keeping dev environment in offline).

Thanks & Regards

Kathiravan M

    Yes, dev machine is not part of the build process. The build machine performs the build. But don't do any development on the build machine! It should be used only for the builds.

    Thanks Nikolaos, So, the dev environment doesn't have a role in package generation through VSTS.

    We can generate the package and deploy in sandbox without dev environment.

    Yes, it doesn't matter at all. The build servers knows nothing about any Dev server, all it uses is the source code stored in the VSTS repository.
