Enabling blue-green and canary deployment of web service versions

Written by

Configure web service architecture to switch between versions using the commonly adopted deployment models: blue-green deployment and canary deployment.

Both models use two backends: a "blue" and a "green" one. First you deploy a stable version generally available to users on one backend (let it be the blue one). Then you use the other backend (the green one) to test the next version. When the testing is complete, the backends switch roles:

  • With a blue-green deployment, all user traffic switches from one backend to the other right away.
  • With canary deployment, the traffic is switched over gradually, starting with some part of your user base.

After that, the green backend becomes the primary one, and you can use the "blue" backend to test your next version. As long as your previous version runs on the blue backend, you can roll the service back to it by switching the backends back.

In this tutorial, we use Yandex Object Storage buckets as backends with the Yandex Application Load Balancer L7 load balancer switching traffic between them. User requests are transmitted to the load balancer via the Yandex Cloud CDN content delivery network (CDN) that reduces the time of content delivery.

We'll use the domain names cdn.yandexcloud.example and cdn-staging.yandexcloud.example as examples.

To perform steps, you can use various supported tools.

To build an architecture for the blue-green and canary deployment:

  1. Before you start.
  2. Create a cloud network and subnets.
  3. Create buckets in Object Storage.
  4. Upload the files of your service to the buckets.
  5. Create Application Load Balancer backend groups.
  6. Create an HTTP router and virtual hosts.
  7. Create an L7 load balancer.
  8. Create a CDN resource.
  9. Configure DNS for the service.
  10. Run a health check and test the switching between versions.

If you no longer need these resources, delete them.

Supported tools

Most of the steps in the tutorial can be completed in any standard tool: the management console, command line interfaces (CLI) Yandex Cloud and AWS, Terraform, and Yandex Cloud APIs. Each step lists tools supported for it.

Some steps don't support certain tools:

Before you start

Before working, you need to register in Yandex Cloud and create a billing account:

  1. Go to the management console. Then log in to Yandex Cloud or sign up if don't already have an account.
  2. On the billing page, make sure you linked a billing account, and it has the ACTIVE or TRIAL_ACTIVE status. If you don't have a billing account, create one.

If you have an active billing account, you can create or select a folder to run your VM in from the Yandex Cloud page.

Learn more about clouds and folders.

We use a folder named example-folder as an example.

The cost of this infrastructure includes:

Create a cloud network and subnets

All resources belong to the same cloud network.

To create a network and subnets:

  1. In the management console, select the example-folder folder.
  2. In the list of services, select Virtual Private Cloud.
  3. Click Create network.
  4. Specify the Name of the network: canary-network.
  5. In the Advanced field, select Create subnets.
  6. Click Create network.

If you don't have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. Create a network named canary-network:

    yc vpc network create canary-network

    Result:

    id: enptrcle5q3d3ktd33hj
folder_id: b1g9hv2loamqfnbul7d9
created_at: "2021-11-03T09:25:03Z"
name: canary-network
default_security_group_id: enpbsnnop4akg7ng70ll

    For more information about the yc vpc network create command, see the CLI reference.

  2. Create subnets in all availability zones.

    • In ru-central1-a:

      yc vpc subnet create canary-subnet-ru-central1-a \
  --zone ru-central1-a \
  --network-name canary-network \
  --range 10.1.0.0/16

      Result:

      id: e9bnnssj8sc8mjhat9qk
folder_id: b1g9hv2loamqfnbul7d9
created_at: "2021-11-03T09:27:00Z"

    • In ru-central1-c:

      yc vpc subnet create canary-subnet-ru-central1-c \
  --zone ru-central1-c \
  --network-name canary-network \
  --range 10.3.0.0/16

      Result:

      id: b0c3pte4o2kn4v12o05p
folder_id: b1g9hv2loamqfnbul7d9

network_id: enptrcle5q3d3ktd33hj
zone_id: ru-central1-c
v4_cidr_blocks:
- 10.3.0.0/16

    For more information about the yc vpc subnet create command, see the CLI reference.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

  1. In the configuration file, describe the parameters of canary-network and its subnets: canary-subnet-ru-central1-a, canary-subnet-ru-central1-b, and canary-subnet-ru-central1-c:

    resource "yandex_vpc_network" "canary-network" {
  name = "canary-network"
}

resource "yandex_vpc_subnet" "canary-subnet-a" {
  name           = "canary-subnet-ru-central1-a"
  zone           = "ru-central1-a"
  network_id     = "${yandex_vpc_network.canary-network.id}"
  v4_cidr_blocks = ["10.1.0.0/16"]
}

resource "yandex_vpc_subnet" "canary-subnet-b" {
  name           = "canary-subnet-ru-central1-b"
  zone           = "ru-central1-b"
  network_id     = "${yandex_vpc_network.canary-network.id}"
  v4_cidr_blocks = ["10.2.0.0/16"]
}

resource "yandex_vpc_subnet" "canary-subnet-c" {
  name           = "canary-subnet-ru-central1-c"
  zone           = "ru-central1-c"
  network_id     = "${yandex_vpc_network.canary-network.id}"
  v4_cidr_blocks = ["10.3.0.0/16"]
}

    Learn more in the description of the yandex_vpc_network and yandex_vpc_subnet resources in the Terraform provider documentation.

  2. Make sure that the configuration files are correct.

    1. In the command line, go to the directory where you created the configuration file.

    2. Run the check using the command:

      terraform plan

    If the configuration is described correctly, the terminal displays a list of created resources and their parameters. If there are errors in the configuration, Terraform points them out.

  3. Deploy the cloud resources.

    1. If the configuration doesn't contain any errors, run the command:

      terraform apply

    2. Confirm that you want to create the resources.

  1. Create the canary-network network using the gRPC API NetworkService/Create or REST API create method.
  2. Create the canary-subnet-ru-central1-a, canary-subnet-ru-central1-b and canary-subnet-ru-central1-c in the three availability zones by calling the gRPC API SubnetService/Create or the REST API create method.

Create buckets in Object Storage

Create two buckets: canary-bucket-blue and canary-bucket-green:

  1. In the management console, select the example-folder folder.

  2. In the list of services, select Object Storage.

  3. Create a bucket named canary-bucket-blue:

    1. Click Create bucket.
    2. Specify the bucket Name: canary-bucket-blue.
    3. In the Object read access and Object listing access fields, select Public.
    4. Click Create bucket.

  4. Similarly create a bucket named canary-bucket-green.

  1. Create a bucket named canary-bucket-blue:

    aws --endpoint-url https://storage.yandexcloud.net \
  s3 mb s3://canary-bucket-blue

    Result:

    make_bucket: s3://canary-bucket-blue

  2. Enable public access to reading objects and their list:

    aws --endpoint-url https://storage.yandexcloud.net \
  s3api put-bucket-acl \
  --bucket canary-bucket-blue \
  --acl public-read

  3. In a similar way, create a bucket named canary-bucket-green and enable public access to it.

  1. Add the parameters of the canary-bucket-blue and canary-bucket-green buckets to the configuration file:

    ...

resource "yandex_storage_bucket" "canary-bucket-blue" {
  bucket = "canary-bucket-blue"
  acl    = "public-read"
}

resource "yandex_storage_bucket" "canary-bucket-green" {
  bucket = "canary-bucket-green"
  acl    = "public-read"
}

    For more information about the yandex_storage_bucket resource, see the Terraform provider documentation.

  2. Make sure that the configuration files are correct.

    1. In the command line, go to the directory where you created the configuration file.

  3. Deploy the cloud resources.

    1. If the configuration doesn't contain any errors, run the command:

      terraform apply

    2. Confirm that you want to create the resources.

Use the create REST API method.

Upload the files of your service to the buckets

  1. Create two files named index.html. They will represent two service versions: version 1 and version 2.

    Example of the index.html file version 1
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Version 1</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Version 1 is working</p>
  </body>
</html>
    Example of the index.html file version 2
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Version 2</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Version 2 is working</p>
  </body>
</html>

  2. Upload files to buckets:

    1. In the management console, select the example-folder folder.
    2. In the list of services, select Object Storage.
    3. In the bucket list, select canary-bucket-blue.
    4. Click Upload and select the index.html file for version 1.
    5. Similarly upload to the canary-bucket-green bucket the index.html file for version 2.

    1. To the canary-bucket-blue bucket, upload the index.html file version 1:

      Result:

      upload: v1/index.html to s3://canary-bucket-blue/index.html

    2. Upload to the canary-bucket-green bucket the index.html file version 2:

      aws --endpoint-url https://storage.yandexcloud.net \
  s3 cp v2/index.html s3://canary-bucket-green/index.html

      Result:

      upload: v2/index.html to s3://canary-bucket-green/index.html

    1. To the configuration file, add the parameters of the v1/index.html and v2/index.html files uploaded to canary-bucket-blue and canary-bucket-green, respectively:

      ...

resource "yandex_storage_object" "canary-bucket-blue-index" {
  bucket = "canary-bucket-blue"
  key    = "index.html"
  source = "v1/index.html"
}

resource "yandex_storage_bucket" "canary-bucket-green-index" {
  bucket = "canary-bucket-green"
  key    = "index.html"
  source = "v2/index.html"
}

      For more information about the yandex_storage_object resource, see the Terraform provider documentation.

        terraform apply

      2. Confirm that you want to create the resources.

    Use the upload REST API method.

Create a security group

Note

Security groups are at the Preview stage. If they aren't available on your network, all incoming and outgoing traffic will be enabled for the resources and no additional setup is required.

Security groups contain rules that allow the L7 load balancer to receive incoming traffic and send it to backend buckets.

To create security groups:

  1. In the management console, open Virtual Private Cloud.

  2. Click the Security groups tab.

  3. Click Create group.

  4. Enter the Name of the group: canary-sg.

  5. Select the canary-network Network.

  6. Under Rules, create the following rules using the instructions below the table:

    Traffic
    direction    		 Description Port
    range    		 Protocol Source/
    destination type    		 Source /
    destination
    Outgoing any All Any CIDR 0.0.0.0/0
    Incoming ext-http 80 TCP CIDR 0.0.0.0/0
    Incoming ext-https 443 TCP CIDR 0.0.0.0/0
    Incoming healthchecks 30080 TCP CIDR 198.18.235.0/24
    198.18.248.0/24

    1. Go to the Outgoing traffic or Incoming traffic tab.

    2. Click Add rule.

    3. In the Port range field of the window that opens, specify a single port or a range of ports that traffic will come to or from.

    4. In the Protocol field, specify the desired protocol or leave Any to allow traffic transmission over any protocol.

    5. In the Purpose or Source field, select the purpose of the rule:

      • CIDR: The rule will apply to the range of IP addresses. In the CIDR blocks field, specify the CIDR and masks of subnets that traffic will come to or from. To add multiple CIDRs, click Add CIDR.
      • Security group: The rule will apply to the VMs from the current group or the selected security group.

    6. Click Save. Repeat the steps to create all rules from the table.

  7. Click Save.

Run the following command:

yc vpc security-group create canary-sg \

    1. For the canary-backend-blue backend, set the weight to 100 instead of 0:

      yc alb backend-group update-http-backend \
  --backend-group-name canary-bg-production \
  --name canary-backend-blue \
  --weight 100

      Result:

      done (1s)
id: ds7l9puc18c9b40cd359
name: canary-bg-production
folder_id: b1g9hv2loamqfnbul7d9
http:
  backends:
  - name: canary-backend-blue
    backend_weight: "100"
    storage_bucket:
      bucket: canary-bucket-blue
created_at: "2021-11-03T10:28:47.680825561Z"

    2. For canary-backend-green, set the weight to 0 instead of 100:

      yc alb backend-group update-http-backend \
  --backend-group-name canary-bg-production \
  --name canary-backend-green \
  --weight 0

      Result:

      done (1s)
id: ds7l9puc18c9b40cd359
name: canary-bg-production
folder_id: b1g9hv2loamqfnbul7d9
http:
  backends:
  - name: canary-backend-green
    backend_weight: "0"
    storage_bucket:
      bucket: canary-bucket-green
created_at: "2021-11-03T10:28:47.680825561Z"

    Use the gRPC API BackendGroupService/UpdateBackend call of the REST API updateBackend method.

  4. Open the browser and go to https://cdn.yandexcloud.example/index.html, refreshing the page several times. In all other cases, you should see a page indicating version 1.

  5. Similarly to steps 1–2, switch all the traffic for the cdn-staging.yandexcloud.example domain name to canary-backend-green running version 2 and check the switching in the browser.

  6. Re-enable caching:

    1. In the management console, select the example-folder folder.
    2. In the list of services, select Cloud CDN.
    3. Select the created CDN resource (the list of resources will contain its primary domain name: cdn.yandexcloud.example).
    4. Go to the Caching tab
    5. Click Edit.
    6. Enable CDN caching.
    7. Click Save.
    1. Get the ID of the CDN resource that you created using the gRPC API ResourceService/List call or the REST API list method.
    2. Enable caching using the gRPC API ResourceService/Update call or the REST API list method.

How to delete created resources

To shut down the infrastructure and stop paying for the created resources:

  1. If you set up CNAME records in Cloud DNS, delete the canary-dns-zone DNS zone.
  2. Delete the CDN resource with the primary cdn.yandexcloud.example domain name.
  3. Delete the canary-balancer L7 load balancer.
  4. Delete all objects from the canary-bucket-blue and canary-bucket-green buckets.
  5. Delete the canary-bucket-blue and canary-bucket-green buckets.
  6. Delete the canary-subnet-ru-central1-a, canary-subnet-ru-central1-b, and canary-subnet-ru-central1-c subnets.
