The correct answer is Canary deployment; Blue/Green deployment. Canary deployment is correct for the first application because it gradually rolls out changes to a small subset of users first, allowing teams to monitor for issues before full release - ideal when you need to test with real traffic while limiting risk exposure.

Submitted by yasin.bd· Mar 6, 2026Design and Implement a Release Strategy - understanding and selecting appropriate deployment strategies (canary, blue/green, rolling) based on application requirements such as risk tolerance, rollback speed, and traffic control.

Question

Drag and Drop Question You are defining release strategies for two applications as shown in the following table. Which release strategy should you use for each application? To answer, drag the appropriate release strategies to the correct applications. Each release strategy may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Correct arrangement

  • Canary deployment
  • Blue/Green deployment

Explanation

Canary deployment is correct for the first application because it gradually rolls out changes to a small subset of users first, allowing teams to monitor for issues before full release - ideal when you need to test with real traffic while limiting risk exposure. Blue/Green deployment is correct for the second application because it maintains two identical environments (blue = current, green = new), enabling instant cutover and immediate rollback by simply redirecting traffic - ideal when zero-downtime and fast rollback capability are the priority. Rolling deployment was not selected because it incrementally updates instances in batches without the controlled user-percentage targeting of canary or the instant switchover capability of blue/green.
