Report Server Deployment Options

Hi all, 

 

Suppose we have an option of deployment pipelines to split into dev test prod stages for Power BI Service.

What are the options of dev test prod stages split for Power BI Report Server? 

 

Kind regards

One option is to have separate dev/test VMs with the developer edition of Report Server on them. 

 

Another option is to create dev/test folders on your production server and limit access to them.

 

There are no automated pipelines with Report Server - you would have to configure something like that manually.

 

We use separate dev/test servers for all our big projects.

 

For smaller changes we use "test" folders on the production server so that a handful of end users can do UAT against production data to test report changes before we make them available to all users.
