Service/workload provisoning upon O365 group creation
Hi Juan,
The question is, what is a full Office 365 group?
The common denominator so far only seems to be the SharePoint Team site and Planner. All the other components depend on how you created your group.
As far as I know it is not possible to create a new Yammer group or Outlook group and get Teams with it. The only way to get Teams is to create the group from within Teams, the only way to get a Yammer group is to create the group from within Yammer.
At the end I got a group out of Azure as well, apparently it takes considerably more time creating the group from withing Azure.
Before Teams, the mental model of groups was ok. You can choose between an Office 365 group with Outlook or with Yammer. They were identical apart from the messaging. With Teams, it gets more complicated to explain the groups model, unless it will become possible to add a workloads like Teams to any existing Office 365 group.

I figured out that you can add Teams to an existing Outlook group, I wasn't aware of that.
Since I'm on EDU, I'm a few months behind on Teams ;-)
