How Do We Deploy Pods

Remember that Pods are just a vehicle for executing an application. Therefore, any time we talk about running or deploying Pods, we’re talking about running or deploying applications.

To deploy a Pod to a Kubernetes cluster, you define it in a manifest file and POST that manifest file to the API server. The control plane verifies the configuration of the YAML file, writes it to the cluster store as a record of intent, and the scheduler deploys it to a healthy node with enough available resources. This process is identical for single-container Pods and multi-container Pods.
