A company is creating a new feature for existing software. Before the company fully releases a new version of the software, the company wants to test the feature.
The company needs to gather feedback about the feature from a small group of users while the current software version remains deployed. If the testing validates the feature, the company needs to deploy the new software version to all other users at the same time.
Which deployment strategy will meet these requirements?
Canary deployment
The correct answer is: B. Canary deployment Explanation: A canary deployment allows the company to release a new feature to a small subset of users first, gather feedback, and validate that the feature works correctly. If successful, the company can then roll out the new version to all users. This fits the scenario described: Testing with a small group of users ✔ Keeping the current version deployed for most users ✔ Deploying to all users at once after validation ✔
