10. Multiple tenants in multiple regions

11. Azure
What options do you have?

12. Azure Subscriptions
• One per environment
• One per combined environments (DT and AP)
• One per department per environment

13. Azure Resource Groups
Use Resource Groups to deploy your solution resources for an environment

14. Automating and controlling your deployments
cannot exist without naming conventions

15. Resource Group:​
<DEPT[2-4]>-RG-<SOLUTION[3-6]>-<ENVIRONMENT[2-4]>
​HR-RG-PORTAL-DEV​
MAV-RG-MAKE-PRD
Azure Web:​
<DEPT[2-4]>-WEB-<SOLUTION[3-6]>-<ENVIRONMENT[2-4]>-REGION[2-3]
​HR-WEB-PORTAL-DEV​-WE
MAV-WEB-MAKE-PRD-NE
Example

16. Demo

17. SharePoint Online
a bit more challenging…

18. Site Collection URLs
• Environment is part of URL
• Solution is part of URL
https://foo.sharepoint.com/sites/dev-spsbe-demo
https://foo.sharepoint.com/sites/tst-spsbe-demo
https://foo.sharepoint.com/sites/spsbe-demo

19. Some services are more equal than others
• Search
• Define and use Result Sources
• MAV-SPSBE-DEV with Path: https://foo.sharepoint.com/sites/dev-spsbe-*
• Managed Metadata
• Term groups & GUID over different tenants or not
• User profiles
• SPO User Profile Properties are tenant wide
• App Catalog

20. SPFx Solutions
• Decide on: Tenant of Site Collection App Catalog?
• File Name, Product ID and Name must be unique per environment
• CDN locations are baked into your package
• Beware that you should not use skipFeatureDeployment if you have multiple
environments in the same tenant and use the Tenant App Catalog.
• Beware of asynchronously installing the App

21. Demo

22. Connecting the dots

23. Connecting the dots
• Combining different services in Azure: Geo
Redundant services
• Deploying real life products and projects:
• Resource Group
• App Service Plan
• Web Jobs
• Key Vault
• Azure AD App Registration
• Application Insights

24. Demo

25. DevOps

26. Deployment Tools
• PowerShell & CLI’s for set-up and configuration
• Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) or 3th party solution like Octopus for managing
pipeline
CI CD
Build Release

27. Next Steps
1. Read up on DevOps at https://aka.ms/devops & SPFx on
https://www.eliostruyf.com/gulp-task-to-change-environment-settings-in-
sharepoint-framework-projects/
2. Set-up a CI/CD pipeline for your projects
3. Start small, but start
