What to do next

Important: During the deployment of the new versions, users might temporarily lose access to the applications while they are being updated. The update time is based on network speeds and processing performance. Therefore, communicate with users about any system downtime due to an update.

If the update fails, retry the update with another Reduce Downtime state.
