A team just developed a new feature on the company's main web application. An IT associate wants to test this new feature by making it available for only 10% of the users. If everything works…

A canary release is a deployment strategy that introduces a new version of an application to a small percentage of users, typically routing traffic to a new server or instance. If the new version performs well without issues, it is then gradually rolled out to the entire user base, minimizing the risk of a widespread failure.

An "experimental release" is a general term and not a specific, standardized release strategy for staged production deployment.

An alpha release is typically an early, internal release for testing within the development team, not for a controlled rollout to a small percentage of external users.

A beta release is a pre-release version made available to a wider group of external users (beta testers) for feedback and bug detection, but it usually implies a dedicated testing phase rather than a controlled, production-traffic rollout to a percentage of users.
