It summarizes new features, key changes, activation instructions, and important upgrade considerations across the intermediate Zurich and Australia releases as well. Show full answer Show less The notes aim to help you prepare for your upgrade by highlighting relevant new capabilities and procedural updates, along with any deprecated or removed features. ## Key Features and Enhancements * **Zürich Release:** Introduced deployment pipelines defined via playbooks, enabling customizable deployment flows. Added concepts such as scheduled/on-demand releases, deployment requests containing update sets, and the ability to configure new ReleaseOps ecosystems using sample pipelines and playbooks. Guided setup (version 1.2.1) was introduced to simplify initial configuration. * **Australia Release:** Added AI-assisted generation of update set descriptions and release notes using release lifecycle documentation agents. Allowed custom, manual runbook tasks in playbooks for flexible deployment activities. Integrated Automated Test Framework (ATF) code coverage to measure test coverage and define failure thresholds. * **Brazil Release:** Enabled early assessment of deployment requests independent of release creation to speed deployment timelines. Established a structured retrieve, preview, and commit workflow for update sets and published apps. Enhanced automation to enforce governance rules using pipelines and integrated Instance Scan, ATF, and Change Management into deployments. Provided scheduling for routine releases and on-demand triggers for urgent patches. Improved deployment issue resolution with auto-assigned tasks to stakeholders. ## Upgrade and Activation Information * Before upgrading, review pre- and post-upgrade tasks to ensure smooth transitions, especially if you have customized ReleaseOps sample playbooks (notably in Australia). * ReleaseOps is available exclusively via the ServiceNow Store. Installation requires requesting the application through the Store, where you can also track cumulative release notes and version history. * ReleaseOps is not supported in regulated environments or on-premise installations; confirm your entitlements to verify access. ## Additional Considerations * No features were removed or deprecated between Yokohama and Brazil. * No new browser, accessibility, or localization requirements were introduced during these releases. * Use guided setup for quick initial configuration or manual setup for complex scenarios and incremental ecosystem modifications. ## What to Expect After Upgrading * Simplified and automated deployment pipelines that enforce governance and compliance standards. * Improved deployment reliability through integrated scanning, testing, and change management tools. * Faster deployment cycles via early assessment of deployment requests and flexible scheduling options. * Enhanced operational efficiency with runbook tasks and AI-generated documentation reducing manual effort. * Better issue resolution via automated task assignment to appropriate stakeholders to maintain deployment momentum.
