Rolling upgrades for a single Deployable

When doing an application update (such as from v1.0 to v1.1) for a single Deployable, MCM should support Kubernetes rolling upgrades for each service in the application so that the application can be upgraded with zero downtime. Our understanding is that today MCM deletes an application and then installs the new version of the application which would cause downtime.  This is requested by a major customer.

    Hi - We have support on the backend for rolling updates based on time window ( so maintenance window, rolling upgrades are supported ) as of 4Q 2019. We need to test if the support available is what the customer expects.

    The UI doesn’t have support for those capabilities though, we are working to deliver the UI enhancements later this year, fall 2020.
