With the release of Dynamics 365 for operations (D365Ops), the use of LCS (https://lcs.dynsmics.com/V2/) has become inevitable. And in a way that is good, LCS can be a really good tool if used correctly.
Anyhow, today I will write about Basic setup needed in order to deploy an Azure DEVTEST environment on LCS. And we will do by breaking down the steps into the below:
D365Ops is intended to be on cloud, for the same reason you need to have a .onmicrosoft.com account. This could be your personal or from your employer, basically subscribers to Office 365 business plans. (yourname)@(business).onmicrosoft.com. - Some help in here.
And this account of yours should be tagged with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for operations, only then you will see the option to even create a D365Ops LCS project.
When you open https://lcs.dynsmics.com/V2/ and click on "Create new project", you should see the options for "Dynamics 365 for Operations"
VSTS project and adding it to LCS:
Every Office 365 account seems to by default have the "Visual Studio Dev Essentials" attached to the profile. So you can always create your own Repository in VSO/VSTS. Just go to https://my.visualstudio.com/subscriptions and create your own VSTS link.
Once you obtain that you just need to fill in the necessary details in the newly created D365Ops LCS project.
You will land on a new page where you would need to fill in details like:
Creating DEVTEST D365Ops on Azure:
In LCS > Your project > under the Environments tab, just click the + button and you will be directed to select "Azure" or "Locally". Please select Azure and continue. And then you make a choice for DEVTEST, choose the appropriate version of D365Ops based on your Azure subscription and just proceed with the steps to create your own Azure environment.
Just wanted to share this post in order to illustrate that setting up your own environment is not so difficult anymore with D365Ops. Good luck and leave your comments/suggestions, if any.
