Publish-PerTenentExtensionApps: Installing multiple Apps is slow

[Daniamstutz]

We install 20 PTE apps via DevOps Release Pipelines, this takes between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours using the Publish-PerTenentExtensionApps command.

We are confused because the time varies so much.
What could be the reason for this?

Most of the time is spent on querying the /extensionDeploymentStatus.

Is there a faster way to install these apps?

Many thanks for your support

I don't know of a faster way - this uses the automation API.
You can also use the dev endpoint (Publish-BcContainerApp with Bcauthcontext and environment and -useDevEndpoint) - but I doubt that is faster
