Automation can help streamline processes and reduce workloads, especially when deploying Azure Virtual Machines (VMs). This is where PowerApps, SharePoint, Flow, and Azure DevOps Pipe come into play.
PowerApps and SharePoint
PowerApps and SharePoint are powerful tools that, when combined, can automate and simplify the process of deploying Azure VMs.
Flow and Azure DevOps Pipe
Flow and Azure DevOps Pipe further enhance automation capabilities, streamlining workflows and improving productivity.
“On the one end you can provide access to the Azure Portal but that could provide certain risks and requires an understanding of the portal.”
Conclusion
Embracing automation and utilizing the power of PowerApps, SharePoint, Flow, and Azure DevOps Pipe can significantly improve productivity while maintaining a secure environment.
