What is the difference between a pod and a deployment?

Question

Answer 1

Pod is a collection of containers and basic object of Kuberntes. All containers of pod lie in same node.

• Not suitable for production
• No rolling updates

Deployment is a kind of controller in Kubernetes.

Controllers use a Pod Template that you provide to create the Pods for which it is responsible.

Deployment creates a ReplicaSet which in turn make sure that, CurrentReplicas is always same as desiredReplicas .

Advantages :

• You can rollout and rollback your changes using deployment
• Monitors the state of each pod
• Best suitable for production
• Supports rolling updates
