To use Lifecycle Services, go to https://lcs.dynamics.com and sign in with your Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) credentials.
For cloud-based solutions, Lifecycle Services has a tool named Cloud-hosted environments. This tool can be used to deploy your finance and operations environments on Azure AD. You can use the tool to select the type of environment that you want to deploy: Demo, Developer, or Test. Based on your selection, the tool provisions the appropriate number of virtual machines in Azure AD with all the needed prerequisites installed on them.
For on-premises implementations of finance and operations, you will need to set up an on-premises project in Lifecycle Services. In your Lifecycle Services project, go to Environment > Sandbox > Configure. In the primary domain controller virtual machine, you will need to run this script in the PowerShell:
.\Get-DeploymentSettings.ps1 -ConfigurationFilePath .\ConfigTemplate.xml
For new deployments, select your environment topology, and complete the wizard to start the deployment of your environment.
Lifecycle Services also has tools to maintain your environment and implementation of finance and operations apps and Finance + Operations (on-premises), such as the following:
