I have a cluster(non-https) running in the production environment with docker and now I want to implement security on that cluster.  
While adding https related configurations, certs etc.. to all the nodes in cluster, will the rolling restart work or I need to do full cluster restart only.  
What should be the best approach to enable security on production clusters ?

Enabling security in a cluster do require a full cluster restart.
