Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to work with stateless workloads and applications on Kubernetes using Deployment objects. First, you created an example Deployment and exposed its Pods using a Service object of the LoadBalancer type for external traffic. Next, you learned how to scale and manage Deployment objects in the cluster. The management operations we covered included rolling out a new revision of a Deployment and rolling back to an earlier revision in case of a failure. Lastly, we equipped you with a set of known best practices when working with Deployment objects.
The next chapter will extend this knowledge with details about managing stateful workloads and applications. While doing so, we will introduce a new Kubernetes object: StatefulSet.
