Abstract
A data processing system implements scalable, secure, and reliable targeted release (TR) deployments of updates in cloud-based service. The TR deployment framework is provided that solves the technical problem of facilitating deployment of updates to targeted release customers. TR customers are associated with pre-deployment requirements (PDRs) associated with accreditation and/or validation tasks that must be completed before the update may be deployed to the customer base of the TR customers. A subset of the TR customer base is provided with segregated access to complete these accreditation tasks and/or validation tasks before the update is provided to the remainder of the userbase of the TR customer. This approach ensures that the industry standards and/or customer requirements are met before the update is deployed to the entire userbase of the TR customer.
