ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A cloud service provider is preparing to deploy a critical hypervisor patch across its multi-tenant IaaS platform. The release manager's main objectives are to minimize service disruption for customers, validate the patch under real production loads, and preserve the ability to roll back rapidly if unexpected issues arise. Which release strategy aligns best with these goals and with ITIL-aligned release management practices for cloud environments?

  • Phased canary release that patches a small subset of hosts first and gradually expands after monitoring

  • Immediate hot-fix deployment to all hosts during peak usage hours to shorten exposure time

  • Big-bang release that updates all hypervisor hosts simultaneously during a scheduled maintenance window

  • Service sunsetting to decommission the current hypervisor version without staged rollout
