AWS CodeDeploy has enhanced its support for blue/green deployments in the Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), now incorporating canary and linear deployment strategies specifically designed for applications operating on AWS Fargate or Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). This deployment model offers a reliable method to reduce disruptions when updating application versions, effectively minimizing potential downtime.
By utilizing blue/green deployment tactics, AWS CodeDeploy ensures that new versions of applications can be tested and rolled out with confidence. This approach creates two separate environments – the blue environment, which is the current live version, and the green environment, where the new application version is deployed. Once the new version is validated, traffic can seamlessly shift to the green environment, thereby reducing risk.
