# `update` Stanza

The `update` stanza specifies the job update strategy. The update strategy is
used to control things like rolling upgrades. If omitted, rolling updates are
disabled.
```hcl
job "docs" {
update {
max_parallel = 3
stagger = "30s"
}
}
```
## `update` Parameters
- `max_parallel` `(int: 0)` - Specifies the number of tasks that can be updated
at the same time.
- `stagger` `(string: "0ms")` - Specifies the delay between sets of updates.
This is specified using a label suffix like "30s" or "1h".
## `update` Examples
The following examples only show the `update` stanzas. Remember that the
`update` stanza is only valid in the placements listed above.
### Serial Upgrades
This example uses a serial upgrade strategy, meaning exactly one task will be
updated at a time, waiting 60 seconds until the next task is upgraded.
```hcl
update {
max_parallel = 1
stagger = "60s"
}
```
### Parallel Upgrades
This example performs 10 upgrades at a time, waiting 30 seconds before moving on
to the next batch:
```hcl
update {
max_parallel = 10
stagger = "30s"
}
```
