    The App Engine Management Center \(AEMC\) provides a unified experience for deploying custom applications built in App Engine Studio, Creator Studio, and ServiceNow Studio. AEMC uses Pipelines and Deployments to move applications between instances as they are prepared for release. In AEMC, you can customize your pipeline, review, approve, and reject deployment requests, and schedule deployments all in one centralized location.

-   **[ReleaseOps](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/releaseops/releaseops-landing.md)**

    ReleaseOps is now integrated into App Engine Management Center \(AEMC\). With ReleaseOps, you can deploy changes across instances via update sets and leverage the power of ServiceNow Playbook, Automated Test Framework \(ATF\) test suites, and Instance Scan, enabling you to deploy changes with greater ease and confidence.
