Description: A rolling update is a deployment strategy that allows for the gradual replacement of instances of an older version of an application with a new version, minimizing downtime and the risks associated with changes. This approach is based on the idea that applications must evolve continuously to adapt to changing market and user needs. In the context of container orchestration, rolling updates integrate with the capabilities that these tools offer, allowing developers to implement new features, fix bugs, and improve application performance in an agile and efficient manner. Updates are carried out in a controlled manner, allowing for rollbacks if necessary, which provides greater stability and confidence in the deployment process. Furthermore, rolling updates encourage collaboration between development and operations teams, facilitating the adoption of DevOps practices and continuous integration, resulting in shorter development cycles and faster delivery of value to the customer.
