Keeping Up to Date
Once you’ve gotten to Configuration Manager (current branch 1511), it is essentially self-updating
Updates and Servicing feature to automatically download applicable updates
You have control over which update packs you want to install
Supports disconnected site environments
Supports pre-production client testing before release to full production
In console monitoring of update status

24. 7/24/2018 5:12 AM
Keeping Up to Date (2)
You should expect updates to production environments approximately every 4 months
Very much like the Windows 10 servicing model
These are production ready updates
Applied via the Updates and Servicing feature
There will also be technical preview releases that will be applicable to non-production versions
For example, Technical Preview 4
You will need another implementation of Configuration Manager if you want to test new features prior to release
Great way to influence features prior to production release
