Qlik Cloud Analytics release types
Our Qlik Cloud Analytics platform features the following kinds of releases:
-
Qlik Cloud Analytics Feature Releases
-
Qlik Cloud Analytics Technical Releases
-
Qlik Cloud Analytics Significant Changes
Qlik Cloud Analytics Feature Releases
Most Qlik Cloud Analytics feature releases deploy on Tuesdays. These releases potentially introduce either new or changing behavior to the end-user. These changes will not always be universal for all end-users. Multiple factors such as user type, account type, license type all have an influence on how new features may impact you. To help our end-users with the deployment of new features, documentation updates are published to Qlik Help on Tuesdays to accompany these releases. Additionally, details for each feature can be found in our weekly What’s new in Qlik Cloud.
Qlik Cloud Analytics Technical Releases
All Qlik Cloud Analytics technical releases are deployed throughout the week and are intended to be transparent to our customers. These mostly consist of service and maintenance deployments to ensure that our platform is always at peak performance for our end-users.
Qlik Cloud Analytics Significant Changes (Qlik Cloud Government only)
For Qlik Cloud Government customers, "significant changes" refer to updates within the Qlik Cloud Government environment that require additional review as part of FedRAMP and DISA requirements. These changes may be comprised of any Qlik Cloud Analytics release type, with varying review timelines. Significant changes will be deployed based on a defined schedule once approved.
Client-managed releases
Client-managed releases are scheduled twice a year, the first release deploying in May and the second release deploying in November.
All download files for both initial release and patch releases can be found on Product Downloads.
