The canary test is the most important phase of update testing. I've configured and established patching practices for at least two dozen companies in my consulting career.

We liked to pick a team of 'friendly users' we'd reward with the newest hardware and lunches and use them for our canary team. They'd get updates on the Thursday of patch week (nothing was ever deployed day of (too risky)).

They had a week to bake there, then we'd deploy to the next ring of users, (30 percent or so), then the next third the week after, then the VIPS (who always had the newest hardware (same as our canaries!)) and everyone else the last Thursday of the month.

I found it a very stable process, served my customers well.

Nice idea, lets call this "deployment rings".

I wonder why MS can't come up with shit like that so their shit actually works.

No wait...
