Exploring the App Engine Management Center
Learn about how the App Engine Management Center (AEMC) can help to centralize and streamline your application development and governance at scale.
App Engine Management Center overview
The App Engine Management Center (AEMC) is a powerful tool that innovates and unifies the application development, deployment, and governance experience. AEMC contains all of the features that you need to manage application development within your organization, from idea submission to deployment. Using AEMC, admins can manage requests for new apps and delegate development and collaboration permissions. Admins can also oversee the entire deployment process with insights into individual deployment requests, test suites, and scheduled deployments.
Starting with version 28.2.1 of AEMC, ReleaseOps is integrated into AEMC. See the ReleaseOps in AEMC section for more information.

- Once an app is ready, developers submit the app for review.
- App Engine admins review and approve deployment requests, moving the app through their organization's unique pipeline.
- App Engine admins review test suite logs to verify that the application is ready to be deployed to production instances.
- App Engine admins approve apps for deployment to production instances.
ReleaseOps in AEMC
Starting with version 28.2.1 of AEMC, ReleaseOps is integrated into AEMC. ReleaseOps improves upon the existing pipelines deployment process by supporting the deployment of update sets, leveraging the automation capabilities of ServiceNow Playbooks, and enabling both scheduled and on-demand releases. To learn more about ReleaseOps, see Exploring ReleaseOps.
Developers working with update sets in version 28.1.2 of ServiceNow Studio and later can trigger ReleaseOps deployments directly within the development environment.
