Upgrading the SDL Web 8 Content Deployer

As of SDL Web 8.5, the Content Deployer can run as a single Content Deployer called the combined Content Deployer, or as two separate microservices: the Content Deployer endpoint, which receives incoming content, and the Content Deployer worker, which actually processes and deploys that content. This means that you can upgrade your SDL Web 8 Content Deployer in two ways: upgrade it to an endpoint only and installing the worker alongside it, or upgrade it to a combined Content Deployer.
