Entra ID & M365 as Code with DSC

on YouTube ↗03h 28m

" summary

Demonstrates concrete automation: Microsoft365DSC plus the Microsoft365DscWorkshop create a ready project template that exports tenant config, compiles MOF artifacts, and wires Azure DevOps pipelines so changes flow through a release pipeline model (Dev Test Prod) with app registration authentication and encrypted secrets. Pipeline runs Pester and PSScriptAnalyzer, produces RSOP-style artifacts and exports, enforces pull‑request gates, and deploys to tenant agents. Expect demos of failures and fixes, scale notes about API call volume, and the exact scripts used.
