Rolling updates refer to a method of updating software or systems, 

where updates are released incrementally and successively instead 

of all at once. This approach allows for a gradual and controlled

deployment of updates, minimizing the disruption and potential

negative impact on users or systems.

​

With rolling updates, only a subset of users or systems receive 

the update at a given time. This subset can be gradually expanded 

based on predetermined criteria or user preferences. By carefully managing the release, any possible bugs or issues can be detected and addressed before affecting a wider audience. This helps to mitigate the risk of widespread problems and allows for a more efficient resolution process if any issues do arise.

​

Rolling updates are commonly used in large-scale software 

applications, operating systems, and cloud-based services.

They offer a way to ensure that updates are delivered smoothly 

and without causing widespread disruptions. The goal is to ensure 

a seamless and uninterrupted experience for users while maintaining 

the overall stability and security of the system or software being updated.
