What is the defining characteristic of a canary deployment?

The new version is deployed to all users immediately without any testing

Traffic is incrementally shifted to a new version, starting with a small subset of users

Two identical environments are run and traffic is switched all at once

The application is rolled back automatically if any error occurs during deployment

A team is running a canary deployment for their web app. They have 'app-v1' and 'app-v2' Deployments, each exposed by its own Service ('app-v1-svc' and 'app-v2-svc'). They are using an Ingress to route traffic. They want to shift traffic from 90% v1 / 10% v2 to 50% / 50%. What should they modify?

Scale the v2 Deployment to match the replica count of v1.

Change the Ingress hostname to point to a new Service that selects both versions.

Update the Ingress backend weights to 50% for 'app-v1-svc' and 50% for 'app-v2-svc'.

Update the Service selector of 'app-v1-svc' to also select v2 pods.

Which of the following is a common method to shift traffic between application versions in Kubernetes?

Deleting and recreating the Service with a different name

Modifying the ConfigMap used by the application

Changing the image tag in the Deployment without updating the Service

Updating the Service selector to point to the desired version's pods

Use Kubernetes Primitives to Implement Common Deployment Strategies (e.g. Blue/green or Canary) CKAD Practice Questions (Page 1)

Part of the Application Deployment domain, which accounts for 20% of the CKAD exam. Linux Foundation does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~10–16 in this domain), expect 3–4 from this objective — we provide 27 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
