Pod : The smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes, containing one or more containers that share storage and network. Pods are ephemeral and typically not created directly.
Deployment : Higher-level abstraction that manages ReplicaSets and provides declarative updates to Pods. It ensures the desired number of pod replicas are running.
Service : Abstraction that defines a logical set of Pods and provides stable networking. It enables communication between different parts of an application. Example:
# Deployment
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deployment
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:1.20
