    GCP PCA · Question 44 · Technical Processes

    Your team wants to deploy a new version of a critical application. They want to minimize risk by routing only 5% of user traffic to the new version initially, monitoring it for errors, and then gradually increasing the traffic to 100%. If errors occur, they want to instantly route all traffic back to the old version. Which TWO deployment strategies support this requirement? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Rolling update

    B.

    Canary deployment

    C.

    Blue/Green deployment with traffic splitting

    D.

    In-place deployment

    E.

    A/B testing

    How to approach this question

    Identify deployment strategies that utilize traffic routing to mitigate risk.

    Full Answer

    Canary deployments route a small subset of traffic to a new version to monitor for issues. Blue/Green deployments (when combined with traffic splitting via a Load Balancer or Istio) allow you to spin up the new version alongside the old, route 5% of traffic to it, and instantly revert the router to 100% old if things go wrong.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting A/B testing (E). While it uses traffic splitting, its purpose is business analytics, not deployment risk mitigation.
