A canary deployment differs from a blue/green deployment because:

ACanary always uses encrypted disks; blue/green never does
BThey are identical patterns with different names by region
CCanary is only used for migrating to mainframes; blue/green is cloud-only
DA canary ramps the new version to a small percentage of real users first (e.g. 1% then 10% then 50% then 100%); blue/green keeps two full environments and flips all traffic at once
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A canary ramps the new version to a small percentage of real users first (e.g. 1% then 10% then 50% then 100%); blue/green keeps two full environments and flips all traffic at once
Canary = gradual percentage ramp; blue/green = instant cutover between two full environments. Each has different rollback profiles; neither is region- or disk-specific.
