Zero outage when applying patches

Currently when a patch is provided by product team we have to do complete outage of UCD that includes below steps

  • Enable maintenance mode

  • Pause all running deployments

  • Stop all deploy server nodes

  • Apply patch and start all deploy server nodes

  • Disable maintenance mode

  • Resume all deployments

Doing all this steps takes time and there is outage on UCD during this.

This impact lot of users who have their deployments scheduled and if there is UCD outage they have to reschedule their deployments and plans.

UCD should be built in a way that when a patch is applied complete outage should not be required.
