advancedDeployment Strategies: Rolling, Blue-Green, Canary & Argo Rollouts
Why does native Kubernetes canary via replica ratio not give precise traffic percentages?
Traffic load-balances across all backing Pods regardless of version. 1 canary and 9 stable Pods gives approximately 10% canary -- not precise. Precise splitting requires an Ingress controller or service mesh with explicit traffic-weight rules.
