Learning objectives

• Explain Deployment Strategies: Rolling, Blue-Green, Canary as a software-delivery and risk-reduction system, not just automation for builds and tests.
• Use Deployment Strategies: Rolling, Blue-Green, Canary to reason about feedback speed, artifact integrity, rollout safety, and release recoverability.
• Use github-actions-in-action, pro-git, software-engineering-at-google to connect the learner page to pipeline stages, deployment strategies, and production-release discipline.

Prerequisites

• Comfort with containers, environment promotion, and the need for repeatable, low-risk software delivery.
