### New update system for machines in cloud pools

We understand the importance of ensuring your automation's compatibility with the latest UiPath software versions. To empower you in this endeavor, we are introducing a new update option that complements the default one:

**Introducing Delayed auto-update:** In the past, UiPath software updates were regularly deployed to your VMs two weeks after a new version was released. With the **Delayed auto-update** option, you can now postpone the update by one Enterprise version.

**Example:** Let's say the current UiPath software version is 2023.10, and you select the delayed auto-update option. The installed software on your VMs remains at version 2023.4, until you're ready to update.

**Security first:** Your security is our top priority. Any software versions containing critical security fixes are automatically and immediately pushed to your VMs, regardless of your chosen update option.

Enjoy greater flexibility in managing your UiPath software versions.

This option is available during the creation of [Automation Cloud Robots - VM](https://docs.uipath.com/robot/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/running-unattended-automations-using-cloud-robots-vm) and [Elastic Robot](../user-guide/setup-in-orchestrator.md#creating-an-elastic-robot-pool) pools.

### Bringing your own image for Automation Cloud Robots pools

Your Automation Cloud Robots experience has taken another leap forward. You can now provision VMs using a familiar setup – your personal cloud hard drive.

This enhancement is designed with your convenience in mind. Here's what you need to know:

**Effortless image replication:** If you already have a setup in your cloud subscription, you can now create a copy of the image and upload it as the base image for your Automation Cloud Robots VMs.

**Time-saving:** Say goodbye to the headache of migrating from your on-premises or cloud-managed infrastructure to Automation Cloud Robots VMs.

**Simplified software installation:** No more constant remote desktop connections to add required software. The new provisioning method eliminates the back-and-forth, making it more efficient and user-friendly. Your time is better spent on your automation tasks, not software installations.

**Customized robot account:** You can now run jobs under your preferred robot account, enhancing control over your automation projects.
