A Deployment refers to a resource that provides updates for Pods and ReplicaSets (ReplicaSet). You can create a deployment in the workload, view its details, or delete it.

Create Deployment

To create a deployment, follow the steps below.

1. Click the All Services > Container > Kubernetes Engine menu. 1. Go to the Service Home page of Kubernetes Engine.
2. On the Service Home page, click Deployment under the Workload menu. 2. Go to the Deployment List page.
3. On the Deployment List page, select the cluster and namespace from the gear button at the top left, then click Create Object.
4. Enter the object information in the Object Creation Popup and click the Confirm button.
