Depends on what the admin is going to update. Restarting the KVM Agent
doesn't interrupt any services for the end-user. All the instances on
that host keep running.

Is it fair to say that upgrades are managed by the administrator?
It sounds like the admin needs to take the host offline, pull the updated packages and restart the service.

Generally you install the new cloudstack-agent and cloudstack-common
RPMs/DEBs and then restart the cloudstack-agent service.
