What is blue-green deployment?
- Deploying the new version gradually to a small percentage of users first
- Running two identical production environments, deploying the new version to the idle one and then switching all traffic to it, which allows instant rollback by switching back
- Deploying only on weekdays and pausing on weekends
- Running the old and new versions on the same server with different colour themes
Answer and explanation
Answer: B. Running two identical production environments, deploying the new version to the idle one and then switching all traffic to it, which allows instant rollback by switching back
Explanation: Blue-green keeps the old environment ready, so rollback is just a traffic switch. Gradually exposing a small percentage of users is a canary release.
