let's Jump Right In and break that down first up are going to be compatibility updates to Vancouver or Washington DC we've got at ice flow/ RBM custom components to basically a component that lives in a workspace endpoint Central formerly desktop Central inry Talent application tracking system and netenrich connect all had compatibility updates so nothing other than updating to be compatible at the next version we had 30 one fixes I think that's uh that's just 20 of them so let me go ahead and show all here and let's run through those ATF test generator and Cloud Runner Cloud cost management Cloud cost management for AWS Azure core gcp Cloud Integrations for AWS Cloud Integrations for Azure Cloud spend reports for AWS Azure core and gcp so service now has been busy in their Cloud Department uh We've also got conversational integration with Microsoft teams DLP incident response integration with sanch Meo spoke notify WebEx connector now assist and conversational catalog request

Legacy widget Splunk Enterprise event ingestion for security operations Splunk es integration for security operations UI Builder UI components for customer portals virtual agent adapter common and workday learning spoke man lots of fixes service now uh most of those has been very very busy let's go ahead and re regroup my categories here so that's the fixes we did have okay 39 minor Updates this will go by quicker than you think uh 1 core at icef flow/ RBM custom- components access Analyzer armis application service mapping attribute pack book and pay capacity management csdms code cyber reason endpoint protection platform cyber in app and then the big hitters here edile okay so edile is one of those that puts out quarterly content and we are in Q2 so I'm going to read off and I'm going to skip repeating edile Financial Services over and over again and I'm going to read the end of these banking Arc Banking and broker dealer Arc gaming Arc Healthcare payer Arc Healthcare payer

management connectors metric rules ml contract analysis powerbi connector RPA plug-in bundle sap ECC RFC spoke dependency file sap S4 Hanah RFC spoke dependency file service connector service graft connector for for scout eye inspect Tableau connector and tanium vulnerability response integration so lots and lots of minor updates as well again the majority of those from edile and service now we'll go ahead and regroup by category here since it can't seem to remember that I had it Group by category and we're left with the release notes fails if you've never seen an episode of SSH before a release note fail is that there are no there are repeated there are lack of detail or pay walls restricting me from seeing what was updated in the applications in this case was mostly serviced now and they're mostly blank um so I won't click on them to show you a blank one but here they are at devc library UI Builder toolkit macro component or macro ponent uh inventory number management Network inventory Advance Network inventory core Network inventory workspace and the workspace app show all were release nodes fails unfortunately which leaves us with the good stuff we're going to get into it five new releases in this episode let's start with the first one from cast it's going to be cast gen a or geni gen AI acceleration integrate gen AI to significantly improve productivity experiences
