This feature lets you upgrade your Edge Agent deployments directly from Portainer, without the need to log into the remote environments and manually update.
This feature is currently in beta, and is only currently available for Edge Agents running on Docker Standalone or Nomad environments.
To view your currently scheduled updates or schedule a new update process, from the menu select Environments then select Update & Rollback.
Here you will see a list of your pending and completed updates and rollbacks.
To add a new update schedule, click the Add update & rollback schedule button, then fill out the form.
To schedule an update, Portainer must have a snapshot of all the environments you wish to upgrade.
