Which two deployment methods does AWS CodeDeploy provide?

  1. Rolling and Blue/Green

  2. In-Place and Blue/Green

  3. On-Demand and In-Place

  4. Blue/Green and Canary

The correct answer is: In-Place and Blue/Green

AWS CodeDeploy offers two primary deployment methods: In-Place and Blue/Green, which are designed to cater to various deployment strategies depending on user needs and application requirements. The In-Place deployment method involves updating the existing instances directly. This means that the new version of the application is deployed on the same instances where the old version is running, allowing for minimal infrastructure alterations. In-Place deployments are typically rapid and require less time to set up, making them ideal for minor updates or fixes. On the other hand, the Blue/Green deployment method allows for greater reliability and reduces downtime significantly. In this approach, two identical environments are created: one (Blue) runs the current application version, while the other (Green) runs the new version. Traffic can be switched from Blue to Green once the new version is verified. This method provides a safer deployment strategy as it allows easy rollback to the previous version if any issues arise with the new application. These two methods emphasize flexibility and control, enabling teams to implement deployment strategies that align with their specific operational needs and business goals.
