Sample question
What is the main benefit of a canary release?

- CIt deploys the new version to every server at the same moment
- DIt keeps two permanent copies of the production database
Show the answer
A. A new version reaches a small share of traffic first, so problems are caught before every user is affected
Routing a small slice of traffic to the new version limits the blast radius of a bad release and gives you real signals before a full rollout.
A sample only. Real questions are generated fresh for each sitting, so this exact question will not appear.
