we want to create 2 power platform environments:-

1) one for testing and development

2) the other for production

now the environments will mainly contains:-

1) Solutions for connecting Power Apps and Power Automate with SharePoint lists and libraries..

so i am not sure what i need to define inside those 2 settings "Add Dataverse data store" & "Pay-as-you-go with Azure" ??

per my knowledge since we are going to create solutions, then we will need dataverse... even if our datasources are sharepoint and not dataverse?

for the Pay-As-You-go >> if i check it >> i will get that we do not have any billing policy:-

any advice?

Thanks

Hi, Uncheck Both of them since you are using SharePoint as Datasource. In case you will need the Dataverse Database you will be able to create it after from the admin portal.

Pay-As-You-go is is when using premium connectors, you are using SharePoint as datasource, so do not consider it for now.

@abouchaalaBAIT but since we are creating solutions,, does not that mean that we need data verse? since solutions info will be stored inside dataverse?

Yes, since Solutions section are part of Dataverse in the Learning center.

Hi @johnjohn123,

If you plan to use Solutions, then you will want to add Dataverse as a data store. You don't need a premium license as an app maker to use Solutions. If your apps are only using standard connectors, then you are fine.

You can ignore pay as it's not relevant to your scenario.
