CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 Practice Question

In Kubernetes, a Deployment manages a group of identically configured containers, providing declarative updates to the application. Deployments allow for easy scaling, self-healing, and rolling updates to the containerized applications, which is ideal for scenarios needing smooth scaling and high availability. While Pods are the smallest deployable units and can hold one or more containers, they do not by themselves provide scaling or self-healing capabilities. That is orchestrated by a Deployment. Services are used to expose an application running on a set of Pods as a network service, and while they help in communication aspects and remain constant despite changes in Pods, they aren’t the mechanism for managing container scaling. StatefulSets are similar to Deployments but are intended to manage stateful applications and provide unique identity to each pod they manage, which is not the focus of this scenario.
