Deploying Updates to Live Workloads
The AWS settings that produce each deployment strategy: Auto Scaling instance refresh percentages and rollback, the three CloudFormation update policies for an Auto Scaling group, ECS rolling and blue/green deployments with bake time and circuit breakers, Lambda weighted aliases, and managed RDS blue/green switchover.
Advanced 32 minutes 8 Learning Objectives
- Predict how many instances an instance refresh replaces at a time from the minimum and maximum healthy percentages
- Configure checkpoints, skip matching, and auto rollback on an instance refresh, and name the conditions that make rollback unavailable
- Choose between the AutoScalingRollingUpdate, AutoScalingReplacingUpdate, and AutoScalingInstanceRefresh update policies
- Calculate ECS rolling deployment task counts from minimumHealthyPercent and maximumPercent, and diagnose a deployment that cannot start or stop tasks
- Explain how the ECS deployment circuit breaker counts failures and which deployment it rolls back to
- Set up an ECS blue/green, linear, or canary deployment with bake time and lifecycle hooks
- Shift Lambda traffic between versions with a weighted alias, and identify which version served a request
- Describe an RDS blue/green switchover and what happens to the old environment
