What is Deployment?
A Kubernetes workload object that manages stateless application pods with rolling updates.
A Deployment is the most common Kubernetes workload object. It declares the desired state for a set of stateless pods — which image to run, how many replicas, resource limits, and update strategy. The Deployment controller continuously reconciles the actual state toward the desired state. It supports RollingUpdate (zero-downtime) and Recreate strategies. Deployments own ReplicaSets, which own Pods.
