Deploying a new version of an existing production service generally incurs some risk. Even if your tests pass in staging, you probably don't want to subject 100% of your users to the new version immediately. With traffic management, you can define percentage-based traffic splits across multiple backend services.

For example, you can send 95% of the traffic to the previous version of your service and 5% to the new version of your service. After you've validated that the new production version works as expected, you can gradually shift the percentages until 100% of the traffic reaches the new version of your service. Traffic splitting is typically used for deploying new versions, A/B testing, service migration, and similar processes.

Not sure about that, isn't mirroring traffic just for debugging?

I think option C could work too, but not as effective as A.

Wait, can you really test with just one instance? Sounds risky.

A/B testing is best with split traffic!

I think HTTP header-based routing could work, but it seems more complicated than just splitting traffic. I wonder if it’s the best choice for A/B testing.

I feel like mirroring traffic could be useful for testing, but it might not give a clear picture of how the new algorithm affects sales directly.

I'm not entirely sure, but enabling the feature flag on just one instance seems risky. What if that instance has issues?

I remember discussing A/B testing in class, and I think splitting traffic using weights is a common approach. It allows for a fair comparison, right?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure what the "sphere of experience" concept is getting at. I'll have to think about the different options and see if I can figure out which one best fits the description.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different factors involved in log sizing for the Cortex Data Lake.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Bubba bought a call and a put, and the put expired while the call was closed at intrinsic value. I think I can work this out.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Does the question mean that the refrigerant can freeze the skin and muscles immediately, or is it talking about a longer exposure time? I need to re-read this carefully.
