+In Kubernetes 1.7 and later, the StatefulSet controller supports automated updates.  The 
 strategy used is determined by the `spec.updateStrategy` field of the 
 StatefulSet API Object. This feature can be used to upgrade the container 
 images, resource requests and/or limits, labels, and annotations of the Pods in a 
-StatefulSet. There are two valid update strategies, `OnDelete` and 
-`RollingUpdate`. 
-
-### On Delete
-The `OnDelete` update strategy implements the legacy (prior to 1.7) behavior, 
-and it is the default update strategy. When you select this update strategy, 
-the StatefulSet controller will not automatically update Pods when a 
-modification is made to the StatefulSet's `.spec.template` field.
