Automation Cloud Dedicated admin guide
Feature rollout
One of the main advantages of Automation Cloud Dedicated is the ability to control upgrades. It satisfies specific requirements for updating your vital UiPath applications, giving you leverage over key aspects such as the following:
-
Scheduling when your platform and UiPath services can undergo updates, preventing any business disruption. For instance, you can avoid updates during peak seasons such as end-of-the-year holidays.
-
Determining the schedule for deploying new features to your platform. This enables you to plan the validation of automations and new features in both testing and production environments.
We provide two types of controls:
-
Delayed release: This allows you to postpone updates for up to 30 days.
-
Blackout window: We ensure no updates take place for a specific period with a blackout window of up to 30 days.
To ensure Automation Cloud Dedicated organizations stay updated, we have placed the following restrictions:
-
Blackout windows can only last for a continuous period of 30 days. This is to accommodate a 30-day freeze period for your end of the year needs.
-
Each blackout window must be followed by a break of at least 10 days, which ensures that UiPath has ample time to roll out updates after a prolonged blackout window.
-
Any modifications to the blackout window must be submitted via a ticket 5 business days ahead of the intended change.
-
You are not allowed to implement any changes that would result in time being blocked within the next 48 hours, which was previously unblocked.
The following section describes a few examples to help you understand these guidelines better:
-
If you are in a blackout window that concludes in 5 days, you can either extend or reduce this window since it will not block any new timeframe.
-
If the blackout window finishes in 1 day, it cannot be extended because the following day would then be blocked.
-
If there is no current blackout window, and you wish to establish one that begins in 1 day, such a window cannot be created.
To configure both upgrade controls available in Automation Cloud Dedicated, you must reach out to our support team and raise support tickets.
