Hi AV,

There is no difference between cloud and on-premises in using DevOps.

Please check:

docs.microsoft.com/.../continuous-delivery-home-page

Hi Will,

Thank you for your response.

What I want is the build and code deployment automation process for on-premise D365FO environment, same as we have for on-cloud D365FO build and automation.

Following is the high level process:

1. In designated D365FO DEV VM for build, take latest the code from specific Repos from DevOps.

2. Compile the custom models

3. Create the package from that custom models

4. Upload that package in LCS asset library

5. Start deployment process in Sandbox / Production environment in LCS, this deployment process include preparing and update environment steps same like we did manually.

Is there any azure pipeline support for on-premise D365FO?

- Thanks

Unfortunately, you can do all of these steps except (5). Currently there is no LCS API to deploy a package to an on-prem environment. The existing API (which the Azure DevOps tasks use) supports multiple types of environments, except on-premise.

I'm not aware of anything on the roadmap for this either. You can try to request this through experience.dynamics.com and file an "idea" (there actually may already be one) to get the product owners to recognize the need and put it on the roadmap. But in the short term obviously there's not much you can do...
