Whichever way you want to do it, 2 actions or more will be required, either you create 2 rings and dont assign the all users one yet or you create one ring which is assined to the pilot group first then you change the assignment or one ring assigned to all and use filtering, then again the filtering then has to be removed. Not a great question

not sure about this one, as far as i can see the update ring and config profile both offer similar settings as far as i can make out, you would need 2 configurations for this, one for testing and the other for the main updates....
