Quiz covering Deployment Strategy

What you'll be asked

  1. Which deployment strategy involves running two identical production environments, where only one is live at a time, allowing for near-instant cutovers and easy rollbacks?
  2. You are releasing a new feature and want to minimize risk by exposing it to only 5% of your user base before a full rollout. Which strategy should you choose?
  3. What is the primary risk associated with a 'Recreate' (or 'Big Bang') deployment strategy?
  4. During a rolling update, you notice that the new version is failing health checks. What is the most common automated behavior for a well-configured deployment controller?
  5. You are migrating a stateful database service that requires strict schema consistency. Why might a 'Shadow' deployment be preferred over a 'Blue-Green' deployment for this specific scenario?
