What is Canary Deployment in AWS?

Question

Could someone tell me what is Canary Deployment in AWS?

Answer 1

Canary Deployment in AWS means deploying a newer version to production that is visible only to a limited section of users, or a subset of users, for testing purposes, while the older version is still in production. This form of deployment is generally taken to reduce the number of production issues, or any error, and reduce the workload, which could creep in deploying a newer version without properly testing it. This software deployment strategy is used in slowly releasing the newer version of the software, after thorough planning and testing, thus reducing the percentage of error, and faults.
