Your team is responsible for deploying a new version of an application that is being used by your company's finance department. The application is critical to the department's operations, and any downtime could have serious consequences. What is the recommended approach in OCI for creating identical blue-green environments for this scenario?
The recommended approach in OCI for creating identical blue-green environments for deploying a critical application is to use two separate OKE clusters to ensure complete separation between environments. A blue-green environment is a deployment technique that involves creating two identical environments (blue and green) and switching traffic between them after testing. This technique allows you to reduce downtime, minimize risk, and improve user experience. To create blue-green environments in OCI, you can use two separate OKE clusters, one for the blue environment and one for the green environment. Each cluster will have its own set of resources, such as node pools, pods, services, deployments, etc., that are isolated from each other. You can also use OCI Load Balancing service to route traffic between the clusters based on your criteria.
