About Azure Local releases

The Azure Local includes multiple release trains: 2408, 2411, 2503, and 2504. Each release train includes a feature build and subsequent cumulative updates.

• Feature build: The feature update build is the initial version of the software in a release train. Feature releases go beyond quality and security fixes, incorporating product enhancements, including updates for Azure Local services and agents.

• Cumulative build: A cumulative update build includes the incremental updates from the most recent feature build.

The following diagram illustrates the release trains, their associated feature builds, and update paths.

Move to the next release train

• Update the existing deployment to a build that allows you to move to the next release train. The following table provides examples of how to move between release trains:

• Within your release train, you can update to the latest update build anytime. For example, if you're running the 2411 feature build, you can update to any of the 2411 cumulative update builds, such as 2411.1, 2411.2, or 2411.3.

  Timeframe for 2411 release train	Update path
