Hi,

I'm not a deployment expert but I think creating a savepoint should 
still be doable throught the CLI client. The Flink JobManager and 
TaskManager just run the containers and the CLI connects to a 
JobManager. I will loop in someone more familar with deployment. We 
should definitely improve the documentation here.

Regards,
Timo
