Canary releases offer a strategic method for safely updating large-scale production environments by gradually deploying updates and monitoring their effects, a process made easier by Microsoft's Azure Deployment Manager (ADM). ADM allows staged deployments with automated health checks, leveraging Datadog's monitoring capabilities to enhance the effectiveness and reliability of these updates. This integration enables users to configure Service Topologies and Rollouts, applying Datadog monitors to check the health of services at each deployment stage, preventing further rollouts in case of failures. By using composite monitors and tagging in Datadog, organizations can efficiently track deployment health and troubleshoot issues across various metrics and logs. As a launch partner, Datadog offers tools and documentation to facilitate the setup of ADM Rollouts, ensuring a safe deployment process in Azure environments, and encourages users to explore their services through a free trial.
