           In order to update an application while reducing downtime, Nomad
           provides a built-in mechanism for rolling upgrades. Operators specify
-          their update strategy in the declarative job file, plan the changes,
-          and submit them for evaluation and allocation. With full control over
-          parallelization and stagger, rolling upgrades make application
-          deployments simple and safe.
