Interesting. I've heard of this practice as 'one box' or 'one pod'. And canary used to mean, 'tests that run continously against your production stack.'

I wonder which is more prevalent.

Probably depends on your workplace, but at Google canary has meant a subset of production running at a newer version at least since '07.

I think your definition comes from Amazon/AWS... haven't heard it much from outside Amazon.
