I need assistance with setting up Azure DevOps to promote solutions from my Development (Dev) environment to Test environment and finally to Production (Prod) environment. I am looking for the most cost-effective way to do this, without requiring end users to use Premium Licenses.

I have explored creating a pipeline using native tools, but this involved creating managed environments. I was informed that using Azure DevOps would be a 'free' way to move solutions from Dev to Test to Prod. However, I have a few questions:

Managed Environments:

1. Do I need to create managed environments for Dev, Test, and Prod?
2. Environment Type for Dev: What type of environment should I create for Dev (sandbox or developer)?
3. Subscription Requirements: Do I need an account with a premium subscription to run Azure DevOps promotions?
4. Additional Costs: What additional costs will be incurred?

Any MS links for the above?

2. You can use Sandbox environment for dev

Hello.

Thanks for your response.

What do you mean by
