 A queue trigger is a mechanism that connects a container to a queue created with [Scaleway Queues](/queues/concepts/#scaleway-queues), and invokes the container automatically whenever a message is added to the queue.

+When deploying a new version of a Serverless Container, a rolling update is applied by default. The new version of the service is gradually rolled out to your users without downtime, as follows:
 
 * When a new version of your container is deployed, the platform automatically starts routing traffic to it incrementally, while still serving requests from the old version until the new one is fully deployed.
-* Once the new version is successfully running, we gradually shift all traffic to it, ensuring zero downtime.

 ## Scale to zero
 
-One of the advantages of Serverless Containers is that when your container is not triggered, it does not consume any resources, which enables great savings.
+When provisioned with a [minimum scale](#min-scale) of `0`, Serverless Containers scale down to zero active instances as long as they are not triggered. While idling, they do not consume any resources, which allows to reduce the cost of your infrastructure.

 Concurrency defines the capacity of a resource to process several requests at the same time. A single instance of a function has a concurrency of `1` as it handles requests sequentially, one by one, but a Serverless Function can have several instances running at the same time, depending on its [autoscaling](#autoscaling) configuration.
