Deployment je standardni controller za pokretanje stateless aplikacija. Upravlja ReplicaSetovima, a ReplicaSet održava zadani broj identičnih Podova pokrenutima. Vi uređujete Deployment; on umjesto vas orkestrira rolling updates i rollbacke.
Hijerarhija
Deployment → declares desired state + update strategy (the thing YOU manage)
└── ReplicaSet → ensures N identical Pods exist (one per app version)
└── Pod → Pod → Pod ... (the actual running copies)
On each new version, the Deployment creates a NEW ReplicaSet and shifts Pods over.
