Question 16

You are currently defining a release strategy for an app, named APP-01.

The strategy should allow you to keep the time it takes to deploy new releases of the app to a minimum. The strategy should also allow you to roll back in the shortest time required.

Which of the following is the release strategy you should use?

    Correct Answer: A

    A

    Canary deployment -

    With canary deployment, you deploy a new application code in a small part of the production infrastructure. Once the application is signed off for release, only a few users are routed to it. This minimizes any impact.

    With no errors reported, the new version can gradually roll out to the rest of the infrastructure.

Discussion
waqasOption: A

A is the right anser. Blue/green and Red/Black are same. Must be 2 ['colored' paths] to swap immediately between them. Read the line "The strategy should also allow you to roll back in the shortest time required".So answer is A.

SolutionFinderOption: D

Cannot find Red/Black anywhere on MS pages. Maybe the term was changed in the past, meaning this question should be updated to current documentation and definitions. According to the current documentation only Canary release can be the correct one.

zellckOption: A

A is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/implement-blue-green-deployment-feature-toggles/2-what-blue-green-deployment This technique can eliminate downtime because of app deployment. Besides, blue-green deployment reduces risk: if something unexpected happens with your new version on the green, you can immediately roll back to the last version by switching back to blue.

reynaldo_aguiarOption: A

Answer section shows a description of Canary deployment instead of Blue/Green Deployment (Red/Black in this case) which is the right answer (A).

EltoothOption: A

A is correct answer however this is usually referred to as “Blue/Green”.

UnknowManOption: A

Correct (is like blue green)

SlavMarOption: A

It takes more time to run full deployment using Canary strategy. Red/Black is more risky but faster. Rollback from both might be same time

UrbanRellikOption: A

A. Blue-Green deployment.

UrbanRellikOption: B

This question appears much later in topic 7 or 8. The answer is "voted" to rolling deployment. This question needs to be flagged for review or removal since there's contradicting information.

Statement withdrawn.

yana_bOption: A

Provided answer is correct

HieronimusovOption: A

Red/black = Blue/Green = 0X111/ 0X000 Its done with deployment slots which takes the time to minimum, and can be reversed at the same pace using swap operation.

Hieronimusov

0X111/ 0X000 that's a joke... ok? dont hate.

syu31svcOption: A

Answer is A for sure

GovcommOption: A

Red/Black with the deployment slots.

vsvaidOption: A

I think A. Blue/Green deployment

Correct !`

PavloOption: D

D. Canary deployment

mohiniuOption: D

Canary should be right answer. As in case of red black deployment , application is deployed to black environment . Testing is done on black environment . Only after testing application is routed to black environment from red one. Canary can be faster but can have higher risk than red black
