How to implement Dev, Test and Prod environments?

What is recommended way to implement Dev, Test, Prod environment for Power BI services for organization with 1000 end-users?

 

Is it creating one Power BI environment and then creating dedicated workspaces for Dev, Test and Prod?

 

Is it even possible that organization would have several isolated Power BI portal for Dev, Test and Prod?

Hi @KennyTech ,

I can offer you a solution with entirely different Workspaces for Dev/Test/Prod, including corresponding Apps for Test and Prod. A report would be created and published to a Dev Workspace. Once ready, it would then be re-published to a Test Workspace (with new database connections, if necessary). The App would be created to allow testers for the UAT phase. When that phase is complete, the report would finally be re-published to a Prod Workspace. A Prod App would be created to allow for the end users to view the report.

I assume with that many users you have Power BI Premium and thus Deployment Pipelines which is a way of setting up the various workspaces and deploying artifacts across.

Isolated portals would mean different Power BI tenants which does not make so much sense I think, at least I have not seen this much.
