What is Blue–green deployment, rollback?

Also known as: blue--green deployment · rollback

Definition 27.8 Research, Data and Risk Platforms · Chapter 27 — Testing and Continuous Delivery

The consistency check on the hook’s deployment, re-enacted: seven routers report the new build’s hash, the eighth the old one, and the release is refused before any order reaches the eighth. The same check on configuration hashes catches configuration drift (chapter ).
