Overview

A rolling update replaces pods gradually so there is no downtime. The important half is being able to reverse it in seconds.

In this lesson you will:

  • Configure a rolling update and its surge settings
  • Compare rolling, blue-green, and canary strategies
  • Roll back quickly and predictably

Pro Tip

Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
