Automate Power Platform Environment Creation & Solution Imports with GitHub Actions (Federated Auth Setup)
Automating your CI/CD pipeline for Power Platform solutions can be done using GitHub Actions with federated authentication. This allows for secure and scalable access to create environments, import solutions, and clean up temporary environments. The process involves configuring an OpenID Connect (OIDC) trust relationship between GitHub and your identity provider, such as Azure Active Directory (AAD). This eliminates the need for direct application credentials and ensures secure deployments. The article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up federated authentication with GitHub Actions and includes a sample GitHub Actions workflow for automating environment creation and solution import. The workflow also includes a cleanup step in case of import failure. Overall, implementing federated authentication with GitHub Actions enhances security and streamlines CI/CD tasks for Power Platform development.
