Be aware of environment scope!
• When you create an app in an environment, that app is routed
to only datacenters in that geographic location.
• Any items that you create in that environment (including
connections, gateways, flows using Microsoft Flow, and more)
are also bound to their environment’s location.

destination environment
Connections, custom connectors, and flows: you can't be
migrate these resources; you must recreate them in the
destination environment
Gateways: gateways are only supported in the default
environments, so migration is not supported
Common Data Service entity schema changes, new
entities, new permission sets, new roles: can be exported
and imported

So…, what should be a proper strategy?
• Supporting the need for DTAP!
• Development
• Use the PowerApps Community Plan license per developer
• Let each developer create and manage their own environment
• Test, Acceptance, Production
• Separate out environments to support environment isolation and independent
testing
• Create Test environment and assign people for validating apps
• Create UAT environment and assign people for UAT testing
• Use the default environment as your Production environment

What is Data Loss Prevention?
• Organization's data is critical to its success!
• It must be available at all times
• But needs to be protected!
• PowerApps supports creating and enforcing DLP policies
• Policies define how business data can be shared
• Ensures that data is managed in a uniform manner across the
organization
• Prevents important business data from being accidentally published to
services such as social media sites

Key takeaways
• Creating new apps and share with organization is easy
• Environments allow proper separation of concerns, but think
about your strategy and match organization needs
• Controlling resources is still very limited (only Flows)
• Migration scenarios possible, but no automation and error
prone
• DLP policies allow securing your corporate data, but has
limitation around custom connections
