How do I perform rolling updates and rollbacks via CLI?

NexQloud's CLI provides sophisticated rolling update and rollback capabilities that enable zero-downtime deployments and rapid recovery while leveraging our decentralized cloud platform to optimize update performance and minimize disruption across distributed applications. Our approach to rolling deployments recognizes that modern applications require continuous deployment capabilities that maintain service availability while providing comprehensive safety mechanisms for rapid recovery when issues arise.

The platform's rolling update features are designed to handle complex deployment scenarios including microservices architectures, stateful applications, and distributed systems where coordination across multiple components is essential for maintaining system integrity. This comprehensive approach ensures that teams can implement reliable deployment strategies while benefiting from the performance and cost advantages provided by our community-contributed infrastructure.

Our rolling update CLI integrates seamlessly with existing CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation while providing enhanced capabilities that take advantage of our distributed architecture for improved deployment coordination and rollback reliability across different geographic regions and infrastructure configurations.
