Show full answer Show less ## Pre- and Post-Upgrade Guidance * Review pre- and post-upgrade tasks carefully before upgrading to Brazil. * Upgrades from Zurich to Australia and then Brazil may require manual intervention, such as re-populating runbook task playbook activities if you have customized sample playbooks. * ReleaseOps is not supported in regulated environments or on-premise; verify entitlements before upgrading. ## Key Features Introduced Between Zurich and Brazil * **Pipelines:** Define deployment flows using customizable playbooks to move update sets through development, testing, and production instances. * **Releases and Deployment Requests:** Schedule or execute on-demand releases containing deployment requests, which include one or more update sets. * **Guided Setup:** Starting with version 1.2.1, guided setup simplifies initial ReleaseOps configuration, while manual setup remains available for complex scenarios. * **Runbook Tasks:** Add custom, flexible tasks within playbooks without restructuring, enabling manual or automated activities during assessments and releases. * **Automated Test Framework (ATF) Code Coverage:** Measure test coverage on deployment requests, set failure thresholds, and identify tested code lines to improve deployment quality. * **AI-Generated Documentation:** Use AI agents to generate update set descriptions and release notes, improving documentation accuracy and efficiency. * **Deployment Request Assessment:** In Brazil, begin assessing deployment requests independently of releases to accelerate deployment timelines. * **Deployment Workflow Enhancements:** Brazil introduces a structured retrieve, preview, and commit workflow, integrates Instance Scan, ATF, and Change Management directly into deployments, and automates deployment tasks assigned to appropriate stakeholders for faster issue resolution. ## Activation and Installation * ReleaseOps must be installed by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store. * Check the ServiceNow Store for the latest version history and cumulative release notes. ## Additional Considerations * No changes to browser requirements, accessibility, or localization were introduced from Zurich through Brazil. * There are no deprecated or removed features across these releases. * Important to note that ReleaseOps is unavailable in regulated or on-premise environments---validate your access before proceeding. ## Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Leverage guided setup and customizable pipelines to accelerate and govern deployment processes across your environments. * Automate testing and validation to ensure compliance and reduce deployment risks. * Improve documentation and release transparency with AI-generated descriptions and notes. * Increase deployment efficiency with early assessments and integrated analysis tools. * Resolve deployment issues quickly through automated task assignments tied to your operational governance.

A pipeline's flow is defined within playbooks, which enables you to customize as needed. [Releases](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=releases-in-release-ops&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Scheduled and on-demand releases are how changes are deployed to target instances with ReleaseOps. Releases can contain one or more deployment requests. [Deployment requests](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=deployment-requests&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Deployment requests contain one or more update sets, and are contained in a release. [Configure a new ecosystem](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-new-releaseops-ecosystem&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Configure a new ReleaseOps ecosystem using the sample pipelines and playbooks to begin deploying changes from your development to test to production instances. [Create a custom pipeline](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-release-ops-pipeline&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Create a custom pipeline to move changes through your production environment to testing by duplicating one of the ReleaseOps playbooks. [Promote an update set](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=promote-update-set-for-deployment&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : When you're ready to deploy your changes, promote your update set to begin the deployment process. [Create a deployment request for a scheduled release](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-a-new-deployment-request&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Create a deployment request for a scheduled release to contain your update set and enable your changes to move through the pipeline for deployment. [Create a release](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-a-release&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Specify the details for your release, including the target instance that the changes deploy to and when the release should occur. [ReleaseOps guided setup](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=complete-guided-setup&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Starting with version 1.2.1 of ReleaseOps, you can use guided setup to help simplify the initial configuration process. | | Australia | [Generate an update set description](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=generate-update-set-description&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Generate update descriptions using the release lifecycle documentation AI agent. [Generate release notes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=generate-release-notes&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Generate release notes using the release lifecycle documentation AI agent. [Guided setup](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=complete-guided-setup&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Use guided setup to start using ReleaseOps quickly. You can also continue to use manual setup for more complex setup scenarios and if you need to add changes to your ReleaseOps ecosystems later. [Runbook tasks](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=runbook-tasks&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Add custom, flexible, and manual activities to your assessment and release playbooks with runbook tasks, without having to adjust the structure of your playbooks from one release to the next. [Create a runbook task](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-runbook-task&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Define the type of runbook task and when the task should occur in your ReleaseOps playbooks. [Set Automated Test Framework (ATF) code coverage](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=set-atf-code-coverage-threshold&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Leverage Automated Test Framework (ATF) code coverage in ReleaseOps.
