# 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.
