Explanation

A canary deployment strategy releases a new feature to a small subset of users first, then gradually increases exposure in a controlled way. This allows the team to monitor for issues with minimal user impact before full rollout. In-place updates all instances simultaneously with no rollback safety. Blue-green switches 100% of traffic at once between two identical environments. Rolling updates instances incrementally but typically aims to reach all users, not a controlled small subset. Canary specifically matches the requirement of limited initial access with controlled incremental expansion.
