Enhanced guide for deploying and hosting scripts

[Jwaegebaert]

The concept involves introducing an additional segment within the category User Guide in the docs. This new segment would provide a comprehensive manual that dives deeper into the process of how individuals utilizing the CLI can deploy and host their scripts. This could be more effective through an example that walks through the steps of deploying a script onto a specific service or integrating the CLI into particular frameworks. Some potential subjects we could start with:

• Deployment on Azure Functions
  • Guide for setting up PowerShell Azure Function to run a script #5943
  • TypeScript/JavaScript
• Deployment on Azure App Service
• Integration of the CLI within an Azure DevOps Pipeline #5879
• Guide for setting up an Azure Logic App to run a script #5932

Yes we definitely need good guidance!

• using CLI on Android 🤔😉

Good idea. Let's not forget more docs means more work to keep it up to date 😉. Maybe we should have some scheduled event (every 2nd month) to review if the manuals/docs/wikis we have are still 'fresh'.
It's okay when a blog post goes out of sync, but for docs we should have an eye out for the changes

@Jwaegebaert what is the further action here? Should we create sub-issues so people can pick them up?

I think that will be best. Those won't be the simplest to work out all together.

Good one to bring this issue to light again!

ok. I'll take on the Azure DevOps guide

@Jwaegebaert, @milanholemans what about Gitlab? should we add a guide for that as well?
@pnp/cli-for-microsoft-365-maintainers any comments on this?
For now, we were very focused on GitHub workflows only and currently, we are extending the support with Azure DevOps (adding guide, adding a command to generate flow, researching how to create ADO dedicated pipeline tasks etc.)
What if we slowly expand to other DevOps environments and go with GitLab next and start with a guide?

[milanholemans]

I think GitLab is a nice-to-have, GitHub and DevOps have a higher priority imo.
