The purpose of this weekly calendar is that for BugFix releases, we provide transparency and allow for planning on when the different actions for deployments to UAT and Production occur. 

Some important details:

• While BugFix deployments to production will occur on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, it's important that:
  • These are tested in UAT first, and therefore deployed to it following the timelines in the calendar.
    • For example, if I want to deploy a bugfix to production on Tuesday, I should make sure that
      • I have submitted it to release manager before the cut-off on Monday 16pm
      • A developer will be able to assist the release manager during possible fixes in the validation to UAT.
      • A Tester will be able to test from 11-12 CET, taking into account that the cut-off to include it in the deployment to production is 12pm CET.
  • On a general basis, there are no deployment to Production of BugFixes neither Mondays or Fridays, due to other deployment activities of Weekly / Monthly happening at the same time. However, if there is urgency, reach out to Release managers through the "Deploys" group to find a solution.
  • Differenciate HotFix from general Bugfix, to clarify that in the event of a HotFix (bugfix with maximum priority), this will be raised through the HotFix channel in google chat and release managers will assist for the soonest deployment of it, and possibly bypassing the calendar below due to business impact.
