Hey #devops #fediverse, I'm trying to understand the difference between blue/green and canary deployments.

From what I’ve learned so far, both strategies involve running two versions of the system in production simultaneously. They both send only a small portion of traffic initially to the new version.

• In canary deployments, once we test and approve the new version, we shift traffic to it gradually. Then the older version is phased out.

• In blue/green deployments, traffic can be shifted to the new version either immediately or gradually. The new environment is fully deployed alongside the current one, allowing for either a complete or incremental traffic shift.

• In canary deployments, the new version is deployed to only a small portion of the infrastructure. We route a limited amount of traffic to them at first.

So, is the key difference between these two strategies the amount of infrastructure deployed and how they manage risk?
