If you are using a released version of Kubernetes, you should refer to the docs that go with that version.
The latest 1.0.x release of this document can be found [here](http://releases.k8s.io/release-1.0/docs/user-guide/kubectl/kubectl_rolling-update.md).Documentation for other releases can be found at releases.k8s.io.
Perform a rolling update of the given ReplicationController.
Perform a rolling update of the given ReplicationController.
Replaces the specified replication controller with a new replication controller by updating one pod at a time to use the new PodTemplate. The new-controller.json must specify the same namespace as the existing replication controller and overwrite at least one (common) label in its replicaSelector.
kubectl rolling-update OLD_CONTROLLER_NAME ([NEW_CONTROLLER_NAME] --image=NEW_CONTAINER_IMAGE | -f NEW_CONTROLLER_SPEC)
# Update pods of frontend-v1 using new replication controller data in frontend-v2.json.
$ kubectl rolling-update frontend-v1 -f frontend-v2.json
# Update pods of frontend-v1 using JSON data passed into stdin.
$ cat frontend-v2.json | kubectl rolling-update frontend-v1 -f -
# Update the pods of frontend-v1 to frontend-v2 by just changing the image, and switching the
# name of the replication controller.
$ kubectl rolling-update frontend-v1 frontend-v2 --image=image:v2
# Update the pods of frontend by just changing the image, and keeping the old name
$ kubectl rolling-update frontend --image=image:v2
--deployment-label-key="deployment": The key to use to differentiate between two different controllers, default 'deployment'. Only relevant when --image is specified, ignored otherwise

--output-version="": Output the formatted object with the given version (default api-version).
--poll-interval=3s: Time delay between polling for replication controller status after the update. Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
--rollback[=false]: If true, this is a request to abort an existing rollout that is partially rolled out. It effectively reverses current and next and runs a rollout
--sort-by="": If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification. The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. 'ObjectMeta.Name'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.

--log-dir=: If non-empty, write log files in this directory
--log-flush-frequency=5s: Maximum number of seconds between log flushes
--logtostderr=true: log to standard error instead of files
--match-server-version[=false]: Require server version to match client version
--namespace="": If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request.
--password="": Password for basic authentication to the API server.
-s, --server="": The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
--stderrthreshold=2: logs at or above this threshold go to stderr
