docs Update Strategies - Operating a Job docs-operating-a-job-updating This section describes common patterns for updating already-running jobs including rolling upgrades, blue/green deployments, and canary builds. Nomad provides built-in support for this functionality.

Update Strategies

Most applications are long-lived and require updates over time. Whether you are deploying a new version of your web application or upgrading to a new version of Redis, Nomad has built-in support for rolling, blue/green, and canary updates. When a job specifies a rolling update, Nomad uses task state and health check information in order to detect allocation health and minimize or eliminate downtime. This section and subsections will explore how to do so safely with Nomad.
