Question

Your team runs a customer-facing API on Cloud Run and deploys it with Google Cloud Deploy. Product management requires that new releases first receive exactly 5% of production traffic, then 25%, then 50%, before reaching 100%, and each step must pause for automated verification. You need to configure the Cloud Deploy release pipeline to control these traffic percentages during rollout. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Define a canary deployment strategy on the target's Cloud Deploy stage with a custom canaryDeployment specifying the percentages 5, 25, and 50, and enable verify on the phases.

Answer

Use a standard (non-canary) strategy and manually edit the Cloud Run service revision traffic splits between each Cloud Deploy promotion.

Answer

Configure a blue-green strategy in Cloud Deploy so the new revision receives incremental traffic increases automatically.

Answer

Add a Cloud Build post-deploy hook that calls 'gcloud run services update-traffic' repeatedly to shift traffic by the required percentages.
