This update is focused on reliability and performance improvements as well as some new features. Here are some details about how we will deliver these changes.
When will you deploy this update?
Any new organization created on or after April 2, 2018 will be provisioned on the updated version. Any updates from version 8.x to version 9.0 that are scheduled on or after April 2 will automatically get this update, and no change of schedule is needed. For existing orgs running Dynamics 365 (Online) version 9.0.1 or higher, we will start deploying this update starting April 7 through our normal deployment process.

We will post planned maintenance notifications on the Office 365 Message Center with expected maintenance time window for your region before the update gets deployed.

The new features are opt-in and will not change your default experiences. On March 21, we plan to publish Spring Wave ’18 Release notes, which describe the new features that are part of this update: Release Notes
