You are deploying a new version of a critical web application to Azure App Service. You want to route 10% of your production traffic to the new version to monitor for errors before rolling it out to 100% of users. If errors spike, you want to immediately revert. Which deployment strategy is this?

Canary release. A Canary release strategy involves rolling out the new version to a small subset of users (e.g., 10%) before a full rollout. This minimizes the blast radius if the new version has bugs. Blue-Green involves two identical environments where traffic is flipped 100% at once. A/B testing is for measuring business metrics (user behavior), not deployment stability.
