## Key Takeaways

* **Upload Custom Database** - You can now upload your Umbraco database to Umbraco Cloud. Add additional text, restoring content is right around the corner.
* **Dedicated Environments** - You can now decide how to best host your Umbraco website with dedicated Environments, with the option to isolate your Live environment on a dedicated server.

## Upload Custom Database

By introducing the Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) feature on the Backups page, we started the process of enabling backups and restore capabilities of Umbraco Cloud websites.

This release allows you to upload your custom Umbraco database to Umbraco Cloud. You can either utilize the current backup functionality or bring your own database. We expect the possibility to restore a database to your environment to be available in May or June 2024.

## Dedicated Environments

We’re excited to introduce the ability to isolate your live environment on dedicated resources while keeping your development and staging environments on shared resources. This means your live site enjoys faster load times, reduced latency, and enhanced security without affecting your workflow in development and staging.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/release-notes/archive/overview-2024/2024-05-releasenotes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
