"Blue/Green deployments can reduce downtime and risk when pushing applications to production. The best practice where one production environment serves a live application, and another an area to deploy and test before replacing it, forms the basis of a conversation about extending the practice to the pipeline itself. When DevSecOps pipelines fail, continuous delivery grinds to a halt. Often the break is due to teams making changes to increase flow and reduce waste or the integration of a new tool. Security tools are notorious for being slow and should be tested without any adverse effects to the delivery process. With a Blue/Green pipeline approach powered with automation, teams can experiment on a parallel pipeline without impacting the needs of the business Join DJ as he introduces the technique of operating with Blue/Green pipelines, how to use Infrastructure as code to create them, experimentation with security toolsets and the architectural concerns that need to be considered when utilizing this approach to reduce the risk of pipeline breaks."
