[ALM Accelerator - Feature]: Move to Generating Connection Strings from Service Connections (When available) #3261

Closed mikefactorial closed 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, we maintain service connections and global variables for use in power platform build tool tasks and powershell / api connections respectively.

Describe the solution you'd like

This PR https://github.com/microsoft/powerplatform-build-tools/pull/151 adds a task to the PP Build Tools to generate a connection string from a service connection which would allow for a more cohesive method of connecting to Dataverse for build tools and for api / powershell. When this has been implemented in the build tools we should move to using this task to create connection strings rather than using the global variable group variables.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Continue maintaining Global Variable groups and Service Connections side-by-side. This isn't ideal for key rotation scenarios and in setup and general maintenance of our pipelines.

Additional context?
