Is there a documented change and release management process? How are updates managed?
Yes, there is a documented change and release management process for the myosh system. The system undergoes continuous development, with improvements and fixes deployed regularly.

- Integration (White box) testing
- QA (Black box) testing
- User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

Deployment Process
Updates are deployed during non-working hours and include rollback procedures to allow for reversion in the event of unforeseen issues. 1
Technology and Security Management
The technology stack is continuously updated with the latest stable vendor releases and security patches. Patch management is automated where feasible and follows a documented schedule, using official AWS-maintained packages when possible. 1
Availability and Communication
New minor versions are automatically made available to all current users. Major platform versions, like Viking 2.0, are released gradually through a beta program before being made publicly available. 1
Updates are communicated via the Release Notes section of the documentation website. New features are also described as part of an interactive webinar program. 1
