Any chance you could explain some of the benefits of this in layman's terms?

Instead of doing an in-place deploy on the current set of instances, it basically brings up a fresh set of instances, then switches over to them so:

You can run tests/sanity checks on the new set before switching over
The new set will always have the latest configuration and patches
If something goes wrong, you can roll back easily by simply switching back to the old set
Less impact on end users, since their connections transfer over, instead of potentially getting clobbered by a server restart
