[Manage deployments using pipelines in AEMC](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BzuaMeyjTR94t7g1nHeEVA "Manage deployments using Pipelines and Deployments in the App Engine Management Center (AEMC).")
:   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://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OGg~z86Jvh8RrLkeCibsBA "ReleaseOps automates deployment of changes across your pipeline, increases predictability and reliability of deployments, and reduces the risk of releasing changes to production.")
:   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.
