>[!NOTE]
>In this example, there are no rings made up of the long-term servicing channel (LTSC). The LTSC does not receive feature updates.
As Table 1 shows, each combination of servicing channel and deployment group is tied to a specific deployment ring. As you can see, the associated groups of devices are combined with a servicing channel to specify which deployment ring those devices and their users fall into. The naming convention used to identify the rings is completely customizable as long as the name clearly identifies the sequence. Deployment rings represent a sequential deployment timeline, regardless of the servicing channel they contain. Deployment rings will likely rarely change for an organization, but they should be periodically assessed to ensure that the deployment cadence still makes sense.
