Platform.svg EpiCloud PowerShell module for DXP

EpiCloud 1.0.0 is a PowerShell module used to perform deployments through the deployment API. You can find EpiCloud 1.0.0 in the PowerShell Gallery.

  • EpiCloud is cross-platform compatible. Are you using Linux to run your builds? No problem!
  • EpiCloud has clearer error messages if you upload a code package with the same name twice. Overwriting an existing code package is not supported (for CMS 12 and above or Commerce 14 and above) and the deployment API generates an improved error message when this is attempted.
  • EpiCloud runs standalone and does not require Az.Storage or Azure.Storage PowerShell modules to run, so you can use it on the various build runners that are available in Azure DevOps.
