08/08/2023, 7:44 PMok, thanks. This would be a really important feature for use cases that require strict SLAs. From what I have seen, teams build custom solutions to address this issue. But seems appropriate to me to have the operator handle such logic.

08/08/2023, 7:48 PMMy team is also evaluating existing solutions vs building our own. Right now we manage our own k8s deployment. We’re evaluating existing operators and prefer to use the official one supported by Flink. Possible to have this in the roadmap?

08/08/2023, 7:51 PMThere was a mailing list discussion about this recently and some of us feel that blue green deployments are often misunderstood and overrated and do not provide the guarantees most users assume
