“Rollouts are an example of the need to think about orchestration, service discovery and load balancing in a holistic way. If we have a service with N instances, and we turn down and replace all of them with N other instances in a very short period of time — of the order of seconds, rather than minutes — then in many cases, our systems will have problems, even if the new instances are ready and able to serve traffic.”

And that’s not bad, exactly, but it has two downsides.”
