This release includes an upgrade to the underlying platform components and some security enhancements.

Within the release window the Secure Robot Authentication service will be unavailable, during which 3rd party systems may be intermittently unable to connect to the hosts.

What this means for you

All user groups should experience no change after the upgrade has completed.

If your organisation experiences any issues after the scheduled release window, please immediately log those via the normal routes to our National Service Desk:

Why we are doing this
