Summer System Cleaning: Environment Health and Governance Review
In the final part of her “summer cleaning series” for Power Platform environments, Kylie Kiser reviews environment health and governance.
Key Takeaways
- Environment governance: Review your overall environment governance by ensuring all environments are properly named, used, assigned to the correct groups, categorized correctly, and accessible only to the appropriate users.
- Capacity: Assess capacity and storage usage before deciding whether additional capacity is needed. Capacity should be reviewed across all three storage areas: database (tables and system data), log storage (audit logs), and blob storage (files and attachments).
- Audit logs: Next, review and clean up audit logs, review unusually large environments for optimization opportunities, and ensure DLP policies and maker compliance remain aligned with organizational standards.
- Admin Center and CoE: Regularly review Admin Center dashboards and flow monitoring to identify unexpected usage trends, app activity, table consumption, or user behavior changes. Also, take a look at Center of Excellence dashboards for tenant-wide visibility and consider adopting ALM pipelines with Azure DevOps or GitHub to automate deployments.
