 The AWS Cloud package includes CyberArk PAS products, delivered as AMIs and AWS CloudFormation templates to automate deployment.
 
 
+## [PAS on Cloud v14.4] (TBD)
+
+### Added
+- #### Azure : 
+    - ARM templates now support Azure GovCloud accounts.
+- Windows Server 2022 images are now available for all Windows based components.
+- New Terraform deployment offering: The PAMonCloud solution is now available in Terraform for both Azure and AWS, offering more flexibility, self-tailored configurations, cross-region deployments, and the benefits of using the IaC platform. PAMonCloud-terraform modules and examples are publicly available at:
+      [PAMonCloud-Terraform](https://github.com/cyberark/pamoncloud-terraform)
+
+### Changed
+- #### AWS : 
+    - Product configuration and registration are now executed as part of the instance's userdata, rather then CloudFormation::Init.
+    - Enhanced CloudWatch logging for better observability during deployment.
+    - Failures are tracked and raised in real-time, rather than only at stack timeout.
+    - Deployment and configuration time for Windows-based components has been significantly reduced.
+- Windows components are no longer published based on Windows Server 2016. You can create a Win2016-based AMI using the BYOI solution to suit your needs (subject to product system requirements).
