    Subtask 5.1: Advise TeamsCloud RunTraffic SplittingCanary DeploymentTesting

    GCP PCA · Question 31 · Advise Teams

    You are managing a customer-facing web application deployed on Cloud Run. The development team has created a new version of the application with a redesigned UI. The product manager wants to test the new UI with 10% of the live user traffic to ensure it doesn't negatively impact conversion rates before rolling it out to everyone. How should you implement this?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Deploy the new version to a separate Cloud Run service and configure Cloud DNS to route 10% of requests to the new URL.

    B.

    Deploy the new version to the existing Cloud Run service and use the traffic splitting feature to route 10% of traffic to the new revision.

    C.

    Modify the application code to randomly serve the new UI to 10% of users.

    D.

    Use Cloud Load Balancing to route traffic based on the user's geographic location.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the native feature of serverless compute (Cloud Run/App Engine) that allows for canary deployments.

    Full Answer

    B.Deploy the new version to the existing Cloud Run service and use the traffic splitting feature to route 10% of traffic to the new revision.✓ Correct
    Deploy the new version to the existing Cloud Run service and use the traffic splitting feature to route 10% of traffic to the new revision.
    Cloud Run automatically creates a new 'Revision' every time you deploy. It includes a native traffic splitting feature that allows you to route a specific percentage of incoming HTTP requests to different revisions. This is the most efficient and least complex way to perform canary testing or A/B testing on GCP serverless platforms.

    Common mistakes

    Trying to use DNS (Option A) or application logic (Option C) for traffic splitting. Always leverage the native platform capabilities.
