The deployment service protects deployments through a combination of rollout controls and machine-learning algorithms that monitor deployments and react to issues during the rollout.
### Schedule rollouts with automatic piloting
### Gradual rollout
The deployment service allows any update to be deployed over a period of days or weeks. Once an update has been scheduled, the deployment service optimizes the deployment based on the scheduling parameters and unique attributes spanning the devices being updated. The service follows these steps:

4. Continue deploying at a uniform rate until all waves are complete and all devices are updated.
This built-in piloting capability complements your existing ring structure and provides another support for reducing and managing risk during an update. Unlike tools such as Desktop Analytics, this capability is intended to operate within each ring. The deployment service doesn't provide a workflow for creating rings themselves.
You should continue to use deployment rings as part of the servicing strategy for your organization, but use gradual rollouts to add scheduling convenience and other protections within each ring.

### Safeguard holds against likely and known issues
Microsoft uses [safeguard holds](/windows/deployment/update/safeguard-holds) to protect devices from encountering known quality or compatibility issues by preventing them from installing the update or upgrade. For Windows 11 deployments, the deployment service extends these safeguard holds to also protect devices that Microsoft identifies as being at a higher risk of experiencing problems after an update (such as operating system rollbacks, app crashes, or graphics issues). The service temporarily holds the deployment for these devices while Microsoft investigates the likely issue. Safeguard holds apply to deployments by default, but you can opt out.
To verify whether a device is affected by a safeguard hold, see [Am I affected by a safeguard hold?](/windows/deployment/update/safeguard-holds#am-i-affected-by-a-safeguard-hold)

### Monitoring deployments to detect rollback issues
During deployments of Windows 11 or Windows 10 feature updates, driver combinations can sometimes result in an unexpected update failure that makes the device revert to the previously installed operating system version. The deployment service can monitor devices for such issues and automatically pause deployments when this happens, giving you time to detect and mitigate issues.
## Getting started with the deployment service
To use the deployment service, you use a management tool built on the platform, script common actions using PowerShell, or build your own application.
