Hi,
thanks for your presentation ..
Will be YAML and PS examples available later?
What if I am using normal Git in VSTS and we have restricted Azure CLI? It's possible to do it also in VSTS Build / Release pipelines?
Can be user porter also for a regular app with like MSSQL DB, Redis, App service, Azure Storage ?
What about App insights?

The goal is to build the app in Azure Res Group, will all this stuff, pack it into docker image .. and scale it for more customers. Now we have multiple ResG, for each environment, and separate DB for each customer.

Or where I should start to learn more about this?

Thank you.

That is our goal, and what Ralph has been able to show in his demo and that he and his (and many more) teams are working on at the moment (like he said, he was showing the future).

YAML - as in Kubernetes-inclusive topologies? Love the idea, have already seen Ralph do this.
Any Git would work. I don't know about restricted CLI.
Is possible to do this using Azure DevOps - I don't know much more about VSTS.
App Insights - any, and I mean any, Azure resource can be automated.

Thanks for the answer.

We had Azure CLI restricted from using it, because of company politics, and I don't know why .. so basically I can't use that console .. only steps in Azure DevOps (VSTS) with some YAML files as Build definitions.

It will be great to setup whole infrastructure with ResGroup in Azure pipeline .. and delete it after testing .. after each release .. to save more money of our budged.

Hey, @jimicze , reach out on twitter (@ralph_squillace) or email first.lastATMicrosoft.com and tell me about your situation, because I'm positive Porter can do what you want. I can easily build you a starter bundle. :-)

Hi, Is Power Apps is No Code or Low Code ?

It can be. Where powerapps really shine is if you combine coders and non coders. Coders can write the backend api's that you need and non coders can whip out the UI using PowerApps
