Managing RUCKUS Cloud Software Updates

RUCKUS Cloud receives automatic updates that enhance features, performance and security of the platform. Administrators of tenants in RUCKUS cloud and MSP’s are notified of upcoming updates and have the option to select the update window to allow consideration of their local environment. Primary administrators of a RUCKUS Cloud account can schedule the timing of software updates.

72 hours prior to a migration, an email notification is sent to the primary administrator of an account. In case of managed service providers (MSPs), email is sent to the MSP primary administrator and not the MSP end customer.
