Fine-tuning blue/green deployments on application load balancer
In a traditional approach to application deployment, you typically fix a failed deployment by redeploying an older, stable version of the application. Redeployment in traditional data centers is typically done on the same set of resources due to the cost and effort of provisioning additional resources. Applying the principles of agility, scalability, and automation capabilities of AWS can shift the paradigm of application deployment. This enables a better deployment technique called blue/green deployment. Blue/green deployments provide near-zero downtime release and rollback capabilities. The fundamental idea behind blue/green deployment is to shift traffic between two identical environments that are running different versions of your application. TheRead More →
