| Deployment ring | Default device balancing percentage | Description |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Test | **zero** | Windows Autopatch doesn't automatically add devices to this deployment ring. You must manually add devices to the Test ring following the required procedure. For more information on these procedures, see [Moving devices in between deployment rings](/windows/deployment/windows-autopatch/operate/windows-autopatch-update-management#moving-devices-in-between-deployment-rings). The recommended number of devices in this ring, based upon your environment size, is as follows:<br><ul><li>**0–500** devices: minimum **one** device.</li><li>**500–5000** devices: minimum **five** devices.</li><li>**5000+** devices: minimum **50** devices.</li></ul>Devices in this group are intended for your IT Administrators and testers since changes are released here first. This release schedule provides your organization the opportunity to validate updates prior to reaching production users. |
| First | **1%** | The First ring is the first group of production users to receive a change.<p><p>This group is the first set of devices to send data to Windows Autopatch and are used to generate a health signal across all end-users. For example, Windows Autopatch can generate a statistically significant signal saying that critical errors are trending up in a specific release for all end-users, but can't be confident that it's doing so in your organization.<p><p>Since Windows Autopatch doesn't yet have sufficient data to inform a release decision, devices in this deployment ring might experience outages if there are scenarios that weren't covered during early testing in the Test ring.|
| Fast | **9%** | The Fast ring is the second group of production users to receive changes. The signals from the First ring are considered as a part of the release process to the Broad ring.<p><p>The goal with this deployment ring is to cross the **500**-device threshold needed to generate statistically significant analysis at the tenant level. These extra devices allow Windows Autopatch to consider the effect of a release on the rest of your devices and evaluate if a targeted action for your tenant is needed.</p> |
| Broad | Either **80%** or **90%** | The Broad ring is the last group of users to receive software update deployments. Since it contains most of the devices registered with Windows Autopatch, it favors stability over speed in a software update deployment.|
| Last | **zero** | The Last ring is intended to be used for either specialized devices or devices that belong to VIP/executives in an organization. Windows Autopatch doesn't automatically add devices to this deployment ring. |
