Blue-Green Deployment

Blue-Green Deployment is a software release strategy that reduces downtime and risk by running two identical environments: one active ("Blue") and one idle ("Green"). When a new version of the software is ready, it is deployed to the Green environment while the Blue version is still live. After thorough testing, traffic is switched from Blue to Green, making the new version active. If issues arise, it's easy to revert back to Blue. This approach enhances reliability and allows for seamless updates without affecting users.

    Blue/Green Deployment is a strategy for minimizing downtime and risks during software updates. It involves maintaining two identical environments: one active (the "blue" version") and one idle (the "green" version). When changes are ready, they are deployed to the green environment while the blue serves users. After testing the green version, traffic is switched from blue to green. If issues arise, you can revert to blue quickly. This method enhances reliability and allows for seamless updates, ensuring users experience minimal disruption during software changes.
