Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) — Question 111

An IT department needs to deploy a new application named ‘Entfin434772390’ across the entire enterprise. The deployment must gradually transfer user traffic from an on older and nearly identical version of the application named ‘Entfin02754932l’. Both versions of the application are running in the production environment.

Which release strategy should be used by the IT department?

Answer options

• A. agile
• B. canary
• C. rollbacks
• D. blue/green

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The canary release strategy is appropriate here as it allows for gradual traffic migration to the new application while monitoring for issues. The agile approach focuses on iterative development rather than deployment strategies, rollbacks are meant for reverting changes, and blue/green deployment involves switching between two environments rather than a gradual transition.
