How to do rolling updates for system jobs?

Is there a way or any plans to support rolling updates for system jobs? I’d like to stagger the updates of system jobs — not all at once.

update {
  max_parallel = 1
}

doesn’t seem to have any effect for type = "system" jobs. Thanks

Sounds like the system scheduler is still waiting to support update stanzas here: System Scheduler use new Update stanza and Deployments · Issue #4740 · hashicorp/nomad · GitHub

Hi @axsuul,

As you discovered, deployments for systems type jobs is currently unsupported and pending implementation. I am unable to give a timeline when this might be available currently.

Thanks,
