Issue Context:

Customers expressed concerns about the lack of control over app updates in Unified Data Environment (UDE) environments. Specifically, they highlighted the need for a mechanism to schedule updates rather than having them applied automatically by Microsoft.

Operational Impact:

• Limits customer control over update timing.
• Can disrupt production environments if updates occur during critical operational windows.
• Reduces flexibility in planning and testing updates before deployment.

Key Findings:

• Currently, some updates in UDE environments are managed by Microsoft.
• Customers have no native option to schedule or defer updates.
• This limitation affects the ability to align updates with internal change management processes.

Expected Outcome:

We kindly request the following enhancements:

• Introduce a scheduling feature for app updates in UDE environments.
• Allow customers to define maintenance windows or defer updates within a configurable timeframe.
• Provide visibility into upcoming updates and their impact scope.

These improvements would significantly enhance operational control and reduce disruption risks for customers using UDE environments.
