Release channels bundle features of varying levels of stability. Newer
features may be introduced initially into less stable release channels and
can be automatically promoted into more stable release channels.
The CANARY release channel contains the newest features, which may be
unstable and subject to unresolved issues with no known workarounds.
Services using the CANARY release channel are not subject to any SLAs.
Stable
The STABLE release channel contains features that are considered stable
and have been validated for production use.
