AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
An operations team manages a microservice that runs as an Amazon ECS service on AWS Fargate behind an Application Load Balancer. The team must deploy new container images with near-zero downtime, initially route only 10% of traffic to the new task set, and automatically roll back if a CloudWatch alarm triggers. Which deployment approach meets these requirements?
Use AWS CodeDeploy blue/green deployment for ECS with traffic shifting and CloudWatch-based automatic rollback.
Create a second target group and manually adjust Application Load Balancer listener rule weights with the AWS CLI.
Migrate the service to AWS Elastic Beanstalk and use the immutable deployment policy.
Update the ECS service with the rolling update deployment type and rely on the default minimumHealthyPercent setting.
AWS CodeDeploy can perform blue/green deployments for Amazon ECS services. When used with traffic-shifting, CodeDeploy creates a new task set, shifts an initial configurable percentage (for example, 10%) of ALB traffic to it, monitors CloudWatch alarms, and can automatically roll back to the original task set if an alarm is breached. Standard ECS rolling updates, Elastic Beanstalk immutable deployments, or manually changing ALB weights require either full cutover, manual intervention, or lack integrated automatic rollback and therefore do not fully satisfy the stated requirements.
