Challenge: Canary deployments

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] When testing new features with live users it can be risky to do this without corrupting data or exposing our users to a bad experience caused by bugs or application crashes. Thankfully, there's a way to minimize this risk by doing a Canary deployment. In this challenge, we'll use a Route 53 policy to direct traffic to two versions of our application. We want to route 90% to our stable production version and 10% to our new version. By the way, this can also be used for A/B testing where you want to see how users react to a slightly different version of your application, for example. I'd like to challenge you to do just the Route 53 portion of this setup before you go ahead and watch my solution.
