Update Strategyedit

The operator takes a Pod down to restart and applies a new configuration value. All Pods are restarted in reverse ordinal order.

When updateStrategy is not present in the specification, it defaults to the following:

spec:
  updateStrategy:
    type: "RollingUpdate" 
    rollingUpdate:
      partition: 0        
      maxUnavailable: 1

	The `RollingUpdate` strategy will update Pods one by one in reverse ordinal order.
	This means that all the Pods from ordinal Replicas-1 to `partition` are updated . You can split the update into partitions to perform canary rollout.
	This ensures that the cluster has no more than one unavailable Pod at any given point in time.

spec:
  updateStrategy:
    type: "OnDelete"

OnDelete strategy does not automatically update Pods when a modification is made. You need to restart Pods yourself.
