Route traffic to the green environment using a load balancer. 4. Monitor the deployment and if successful, decommission the blue environment.

What are the benefits of using blue-green deployments?

The benefits include reduced downtime, easy rollback capabilities, and the ability to test new versions in a production-like environment without affecting users.

Can I automate this process?

Yes, you can automate blue-green deployments using AWS CodePipeline and AWS CloudFormation to manage your infrastructure as code.

What tools can help with monitoring?

You can use AWS CloudWatch for monitoring, along with third-party tools like Datadog or New Relic for more detailed insights.
