 The parameters are the same as [`docker service create`](service_create.md). Please look at the description there

+Normally, updating a service will only cause the service's tasks to be replaced with new ones if a change to the

+service requires recreating the tasks for it to take effect. For example, only changing the

+`--update-parallelism` setting will not recreate the tasks, because the individual tasks are not affected by this

+setting. However, the `--force` flag will cause the tasks to be recreated anyway. This can be used to perform a

+In this example, the `--force` flag causes the service's tasks to be shut down
