Video Explanation of Tool and Process

Who Does This Apply To?

In short, every CIMcloud customer that is about to go through a minor or major version update.

This tool (and the associated video) was designed to lower the risk of a the version update process. It was designed with large / heavy adoption customers in mind (i.e. CIMcloud customers that have heavy adoption / usage of the CIMcloud platform). It is a comprehensive approach designed to snuff out issues during the preparation stages, so the go live stage is much more likely to go smoothly.

A scaled back approach could be considered (but the same core steps apply) if your tolerance for unintended issues (associated with a change like a major version update) is higher.

The following articles provide additional context on the Live Version Update process and CIMcloud environments.
