写在前面：本篇博客为翻译作品，希望帮助使用中文的客户通过更好地理解 SAP S/4HANA Cloud 更新/升级中所能使用的特性、功能和限制，帮助您更好地计划业务，整体提高使用产品的效率。 同时也感谢 Vincent Zhu （Vincent Zhu）在本篇翻译过程中所提供的建议！   原作者是： Akshay Sharma (Akshay Sharma) 原文发布在：https://blogs.sap.com/?p=1648480?source=email-global-notification-mod   如今，客户希望云解决方案能够提供持续可用性，无需等待计划维护事件。他们期待软件部署不再中断其业务。这正是蓝绿部署（Blue-Green Deployment）方法帮助 SAP S/4HANA Cloud 实现的成果。 随着当前蓝绿部署能够支持基于 ABAP 的云系统的更新（hotfix 热修复）和升级（新版本发布），SAP S/4HANA Cloud 的停机时间为 5 分钟或更短。这一数字将计划进一步减少，直至到0。 本博客旨在向您介绍 SAP S/4HANA Cloud 更新/升级中使用的蓝绿部署方法，并讨论即使正在运行更新/升级，用户也可以使用的所有特性和功能。下面，我们开始吧！   什么是蓝绿部署？ 蓝色和绿色仅指不同版本的两个运行时（runtimes）。如下图所示，蓝色是当前正在使用的生产运行版本，绿色是更新/升级之后的版本，最终将替换蓝色版本。 蓝绿部署   蓝绿部署的工作方式如下：使用者使用蓝色版本时；绿色版本将被并行部署。然后，当使用者切换为使用绿色版本时，蓝色版本将被移除。在上图中，“准备 V2”（“Preparing V2”）和“切换到 V2”（“Switching to V2”）阶段代表更新/升级阶段。 就是这样简单！ 这意味着更新/升级所需要做的更改都会在尽可能不影响用户的情况下被部署。在后台执行大部分更新/升级相关任务后，系统即切换到更新的版本，而更新后的系统即刻变为可用。因此，用户遇到的不允许登录系统的停机时间通过蓝绿部署将大大减少。 目前，SAP S/4HANA Cloud 中的所有....
