Usually you don't need to shut it all down. But some customers might only pay for a VPS, they don't pay for redundant nodes in other DCs and so on. So if you have to upgrade a rack switch pair you just kinda have to deal with a few minutes of downtime
True a few minutes for one host but the way it was phrased sounds like the entire thing is going down for aa significant period of time
