Do more with data – From Data Export Service to Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse

Sabin Nair, Principal Program Manager, Tuesday, 23 November 2021

Today, we are announcing deprecation of Data Export Service (DES); an add-on feature available via Microsoft AppSource which provides the ability to replicate data from Microsoft Dataverse to an Azure SQL store in a customer-owned Azure subscription. Data Export Service will continue to work and will be fully supported until it reaches end-of-support and end-of-life a year from this announcement date, in November 2022. This notice is to allow you sufficient time to plan and onboard to Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse which is a successor to Data Export Service.

Simplify environment administration in the Microsoft Power Platform with new CoE Starter Kit components for Environment Management

Denise Moran, Program Manager, Tuesday, 31 August 2021

When a new environment is needed as a workspace to develop a Power Platform project – and non-admins are restricted from creating environments – admins must provision the environment for such projects to facilitate development that will ultimately help the company achieve its goals. While restricting environment creation provides valuable security advantages, admins can easily become the bottleneck for project movement if there is no automation in place and the demand for new environments is high. Depending on the company, more configurations might be required to define a ‘secure’ environment. The Environment Request components in the CoE Starter Kit are designed to help simplify and automate the administration of Power Platform environments.
