+description: "Would you like to be the first to try our new architecture and provide feedback? If so, this guide will help you sign up for our beta testing group."

+
+To enhance the stability and reliability of Netdata Cloud, we did extensive work on our backend, and we would like to give you the opportunity 
+to be among the first users to try these changes to our Cloud architecture and provide feedback. 
+
+The backend architecture changes should offer notable improvements in reliability and stability in Netdata Cloud, 
+but more importantly, it allows us to develop new features and enhanced functionality, including features and enhancements
+that you have specifically requested. Features that will be developed on the new architecture include:
+
+- Parent/Child Cloud relationships
+- Alert logs
+- Alert management
+- Much more
+
+## Enabling the new architecture
+
+To enable the new architecture, first ensure that you have installed the latest Netdata version following 
+[our guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/get-started.mdx). Then, you or your administrator will need to retrieve the Space IDs 
+within Netdata Cloud by clicking `Manage Space` in the left pane, selecting the `Space` tab, and copying the value in the `Space Id` field.
+You can then send an email to [beta@Netdata.cloud](mailto:beta@netdata.cloud) requesting to be included in our beta testers, and include 
+in the body of the email a list of Space IDs for any space you would like to have whitelisted for the update. If you received an email
+invitation, you can also just reply to the invitation with your Space IDs in the body of the reply.
+
+Feel free to send the Space IDs for multiple spaces to test the new infrastructure on each of them.
+
+## Reporting issues
+
+After you are set up with the new architecture changes, we ask that you report any issues you encounter in our 
+[designated Discord channel](https://discord.gg/dGzdemHwHh). This feedback
+will help us ensure the highest performance of the new architecture and expedite the development and release
+of the aforementioned enhancements and features.
