Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Operational Excellence > OPS 06. How do you mitigate deployment risks? > Deploy using parallel environments

Implement changes onto parallel environments, and then transition over to the new environment. Maintain the prior environment until there is confirmation of successful deployment. Doing so minimizes recovery time by enabling rollback to the previous environment.

See Deploy using parallel environments for more information.
