Episode 134 — Upgrade Methods — Blue-Green, Canary, and Active-Passive
from Certified - CompTIA Cloud+ Audio Course · host Jason Edwards
This episode explores upgrade deployment strategies that reduce risk and downtime. Blue-green deployments run two identical environments, switching traffic to the updated one once validated. Canary releases roll out updates to a small subset of users first, monitoring for issues before full deployment. Active-passive upgrades involve switching from a live system to a standby system for updates, then reversing the process.We also discuss choosing the right strategy based on workload criticality, testing requirements, and rollback needs. On the Cloud+ exam, you’ll be expected to match upgrade methods to scenarios for both safety and efficiency. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
