2.2 Given a scenario, implement appropriate deployment strategies.
Deployment strategies control how much risk a release carries and how fast you can roll back.
Strategies
- Blue-green
- Two identical environments; deploy to the idle one (green), test, then switch traffic. Rollback is a switch back. Needs double capacity briefly.
- Canary
- Release to a small percentage of users first, watch metrics, then expand. Limits blast radius.
- Rolling
- Update instances in batches while the rest keep serving. No extra environment, but mixed versions run for a while.
- In-place
- Update the existing servers directly. Simplest, but causes downtime and slower rollback.
