It makes sense for DevOps engineers and architects to perform canary deployments in their CI/CD workflows. They cannot skip testing a release for the sake of adhering to continuous delivery practices, can they? 

In canary deployments, the new version, called canary, is tested with limited live traffic at first. Ops teams and SREs then observe and analyze the performance and customer experience of the canary, before gradually rolling it out for the larger audience in case of no issues.
