1. A method, comprising:
flagging, as high-risk, a first configuration update to be deployed to a first access point (AP) in a set of APs to which a set of configuration updates are to be deployed, a high-risk configuration comprising an AP configuration deployment leading to a likelihood of a network outage;
executing an order-deploy algorithm to order the set of APs to obtain an ordered set of APs representative of a deployment order for the set of configuration updates that satisfies configuration deployment ordering criteria that seeks to deploy respective configuration updates to proximally located APs at different times;
grouping the ordered set of APs into a plurality of deployment batches based on batching criteria that avoids placing a neighbor AP to the first AP in a same deployment batch as the first AP based on the first configuration update being flagged as high-risk, mitigating the likelihood of the network outage; and
deploying the set of configuration updates to the set of APs in the plurality of deployment batches.
