Recreate Strategy - CI/CD Glossary Definition
The Recreate strategy terminates all old pods before creating new ones, accepting a brief downtime in exchange for never running two versions at once. It is used when versions cannot coexist, such as an incompatible schema or an exclusive lock.
Trade-off
Recreate is simpler than rolling but means an outage window during each deploy, so it is reserved for workloads where mixed versions would corrupt data.
