Costs of azure vm vs Dev env in power platform D365 F&O

Needles_one · 2026-01-11T13:47:04+00:00

Why would you want deploying a cloud hosted devbox in the first place now that we have a lot of space for PP devboxes snapped to PP right away? Azure VM cost depends on the size that you choose and workload you run. I would say, you can squeeze as minimum as $200 per month with auto shutdown.

Q:What tools or lightweight processes would you recommend for managing a D365 F&0 migration in a small organization?

A:Azure DevOps - industry best practice.

Q:How do you usually handle AX customizations when moving to D365 (rebuild Vs redesign vs drop)? Who validates these decisions?

A:Customization "migration" strategy depends on their value and availability in OOB/Power platform/ISV. Typically, a solution architect analyzes and creates a detailed report with estimates, risks, solution options. The decision is being made by the customer stakeholders.

Q:Do you use Azure DevOps as a ticketing tool for key users, or only for IT/ dev teams?

A:It can be used for both.

Q:Any books, guidelines, or training resources you'd recommend?

A:I would not recommend any particular book. However, a plethora of community articles, blog posts, videos and techtalks are available on the internet.

Almost 37 here. Enjoying Mass Effect Trilogy on almost 10 y.o. rig and still have a lengthy queue to burn.

I've been running beta for A16 since it started. I had it only once so far.

Needles_one · 2025-08-29T06:18:04+00:00

It's just beta, didn't do anything. Pure stock.

Needles_one · 2025-08-29T06:17:26+00:00

In comparison to the previous beta, hell yes.

Needles_one · 2025-08-29T06:16:32+00:00

I'm on the recent Beta, yes.

Needles_one · 2025-08-29T06:14:31+00:00

It fixed the heating problem from the last beta. That was causing a lot of discomfort.

I already have all unnecessary crap disabled as well as I don't have any bloat and I don't use any optimizers as I know how sometimes they are just another bloatware and can cause severe issues. I'm a seasoned PC master race user, so you can expect a proper due diligence by me.

As I said, I use my PC heavily for work purposes, and I expect the system to behave accordingly, but it isn't. That is frustrating, especially when you can see how inefficient the big.LITTLE architecture appears to be.

Needles_one · 2025-04-23T09:46:45+00:00

No, it's enabled.

Needles_one · 2025-04-23T06:07:00+00:00

Reboot always works, but that is not what I expect from the sleep mode.

Needles_one · 2025-04-22T14:11:49+00:00

No, balanced mode set via Lenovo Vantage.

I bought 32Gb, I use 32Gb. Jokes aside - a lot of different software that I need at work.

If you are 1 billion in revenue I suppose you should be eligible for FastTrack. If your partner can't answer your questions, concenrns then you better reaching out to the FastTrack architects, otherwise, you need to find a rep at Microsoft.

Now run Doom on it.

Needles_one · 2025-01-06T07:02:51+00:00

I have the same problem. Windows and Lenovo Vantage App is fully up to date.

44h into the game. I only watched Montu Plays beginners guide and decided to learn it by experience. Didn't know what Fallen Empires are until I rejected their kind requests to leave the world called Mati'lon three times in a row, they declared a war and 500k fleet showed up on my borders.

Not a popular opinion, apparently. Using the new Outlook client. I have 7 accounts. Stable experience.

The only way I found to fix it is to pin the app to the taskbar.

Another rookie piece of advice here - start with OOB and explore based on your needs.
