This document summarizes a presentation titled "Everyday I'm Shuffling: An alternative approach to DevOps for Microsoft Dynamics 365" by Jonas Rapp. The presentation introduces an approach called CRM Shuffle that combines solution components and configuration data into a single deployment package. It utilizes tools like SolutionPackager, PackageDeployer, and custom tasks for Visual Studio Team Services to automate builds, deployments, and release management for Dynamics 365. The approach aims to provide quality, efficiency, reproducibility and remove human errors from the process.

- 7. • Automation - CI/CD or manual • No humans - Short-cuts, forget • Rebuild - Everything always • Tests - Tasks, integration • Reproducibility - Scripted 7 Quality and Efficiency
- 8. • Combine atomic solution components - Exported from local dev CRM - Extracted from customizations.xml • Build solution file - XML files from any developer - Combined to customizations.xml - Begging for conflicts • Packed to artifact - Solution file is not exported from CRM - Frankenstein’s Solution 8 SolutionPackager
- 9. • MS OOB tool - Suggested deployment method (but came too late…) • Import solutions - Supports stage for upgrade etc. • Import data - Configuration Migration Tool • Customizable - Call assembly methods - Start and End page 9 PackageDeployer
- 10. • Compile - Build C# and TS - Generate minified JS • Update DEV CRM - Manual configuration - Automatic update • Export from DEV CRM - Solutions - Configuration data • No VS extensions - Agnostic, works with any 10 Build
- 11. • Collect artifacts - Prereqs and current project - Solutions, data and definitions • Pack artifacts - Create deployment package - One (1) distributable file • Deploy: Import to target - Solution files - Configuration data - Detailed control through definitions 11 Release and Deploy

- #8: Automate time consuming and error prone tasks Triggers can be automated or manual, still saves time Human factors eliminated Automated builds don’t take shortcuts. “No scripts were updated” We tend to forget things Build is verified every time Automated testing is part of the build We use SonarQube, there are other Reproduce environments Strict scripted deployment sequences
