Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
Your organization operates a multi-tenant SaaS application on Azure Kubernetes Service. You must deploy a new microservice image with the following requirements:
Start with a small internal tenant only.
Evaluate live telemetry; automatically halt if latency or error rate exceeds predefined thresholds.
Gradually expand the rollout to successive groups of tenants until all customers receive the update. Which deployment strategy best satisfies these requirements?
Blue-green deployment using a parallel AKS cluster and VIP swap
Single-step canary deployment that routes 10% of traffic to the new pod set
Ring-based deployment with quality gates between rings
A/B testing that directs half of users to each image version for comparison
A ring-based deployment aligns with the scenario because it releases the new version to progressively broader "rings" of users. Each ring can include automated gates that inspect telemetry (for example, Application Insights metrics) and stop the rollout if quality criteria are not met. Blue-green swaps all traffic at once, canary typically shifts a percentage of traffic rather than segment-based tenants, and A/B testing is intended for experimentation, not phased safe deployment across tenant cohorts.
