+## Release 5.2.0
+
+**Release Date:** Oct 23, 2026
+
+### New Features and Improvements
+- **I95-66382 Replace artifactory keyword in AWS, Azure, GCP**
+Updated the cloud templates use `SSR Software Access Username` and `SSR Software Access Token` instead of `Artifactory Username` and `Artifactory Token`. Added a similar `software-access-username` and `software-access-token` to the onboarding configuration.
+Example:
+```
+ {
+ "name": "",
+ "ssr-version": "",
+ "mode": "conductor",
+ "software-access-username": "",
+ "software-access-token": "",
+ "node-name": "node0",
+ "cloud-provider": "aws"
+ }
+```
+
+- **I95-66517 Updated sizing guidelines for AWS, GCP**
+Updated sizing guidelines to be in-line with SSR Hardware Platforms. Legacy sizes are still available, but new reccomended sizes are added.
+
+#### AWS
+```
+c5n.xlarge
+c5n.2xlarge
+r8in.2xlarge
