+# Kubernetes Deployment Specification Reference
+
+Comprehensive reference for Kubernetes Deployment resources, covering all key fields, best practices, and common patterns.
+
+## Overview
+
+A Deployment provides declarative updates for Pods and ReplicaSets. It manages the desired state of your application, handling rollouts, rollbacks, and scaling operations.
+
+## Complete Deployment Specification

+
+## Field Reference
+
+### Metadata Fields
+
+#### Required Fields
+- `apiVersion`: `apps/v1` (current stable version)
+- `kind`: `Deployment`
+- `metadata.name`: Unique name within namespace
+
+#### Recommended Metadata
+- `metadata.namespace`: Target namespace (defaults to `default`)
+- `metadata.labels`: Key-value pairs for organization
+- `metadata.annotations`: Non-identifying metadata
+
+### Spec Fields
+
+#### Replica Management
+
+**`replicas`** (integer, default: 1)
+- Number of desired pod instances
+- Best practice: Use 3+ for production high availability
+- Can be scaled manually or via HorizontalPodAutoscaler
+
+**`revisionHistoryLimit`** (integer, default: 10)
+- Number of old ReplicaSets to retain for rollback
+- Set to 0 to disable rollback capability
+- Reduces storage overhead for long-running deployments
+
+#### Update Strategy
+
+**`strategy.type`** (string)
+- `RollingUpdate` (default): Gradual pod replacement
+- `Recreate`: Delete all pods before creating new ones
+
+**`strategy.rollingUpdate.maxSurge`** (int or percent, default: 25%)
+- Maximum pods above desired replicas during update
+- Example: With 3 replicas and maxSurge=1, up to 4 pods during update
+
+**`strategy.rollingUpdate.maxUnavailable`** (int or percent, default: 25%)
+- Maximum pods below desired replicas during update
+- Set to 0 for zero-downtime deployments
+- Cannot be 0 if maxSurge is 0
+
+**Best practices:**
+```yaml
+# Zero-downtime deployment
+strategy:
+  type: RollingUpdate
+  rollingUpdate:
+    maxSurge: 1
+    maxUnavailable: 0
+
+# Fast deployment (can have brief downtime)
+strategy:
+  type: RollingUpdate
+  rollingUpdate:
+    maxSurge: 2
+    maxUnavailable: 1
+
+# Complete replacement
+strategy:
+  type: Recreate
+```
+
+#### Pod Template
+
+**`template.metadata.labels`**
+- Must include labels matching `spec.selector.matchLabels`
+- Add version labels for blue/green deployments
+- Include standard Kubernetes labels
+
+**`template.spec.containers`** (required)
+- Array of container specifications
+- At least one container required
+- Each container needs unique name
+
+#### Container Configuration
+
+**Image Management:**
+```yaml
+containers:
+- name: app
+  image: registry.example.com/myapp:1.0.0
+  imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent  # or Always, Never
+```
+
+Image pull policies:
+- `IfNotPresent`: Pull if not cached (default for tagged images)
+- `Always`: Always pull (default for :latest)
+- `Never`: Never pull, fail if not cached
+
+**Port Declarations:**
+```yaml
+ports:
+- name: http      # Named for referencing in Service
+  containerPort: 8080
+  protocol: TCP   # TCP (default), UDP, or SCTP
+  hostPort: 8080  # Optional: Bind to host port (rarely used)
+```
+
+#### Resource Management
+
+**Requests vs Limits:**
+
+```yaml
+resources:
+  requests:
+    memory: "256Mi"  # Guaranteed resources
+    cpu: "250m"      # 0.25 CPU cores
+  limits:
+    memory: "512Mi"  # Maximum allowed
+    cpu: "500m"      # 0.5 CPU cores
+```
+
+**QoS Classes (determined automatically):**
+
+1. **Guaranteed**: requests = limits for all containers
+   - Highest priority
+   - Last to be evicted
+
+2. **Burstable**: requests < limits or only requests set
+   - Medium priority
+   - Evicted before Guaranteed
+
+3. **BestEffort**: No requests or limits set
+   - Lowest priority
+   - First to be evicted
+
+**Best practices:**
+- Always set requests in production
+- Set limits to prevent resource monopolization
+- Memory limits should be 1.5-2x requests
+- CPU limits can be higher for bursty workloads
+
+#### Health Checks
+
+**Probe Types:**
+
+1. **startupProbe** - For slow-starting applications
+   ```yaml
+   startupProbe:
+     httpGet:
+       path: /health/startup
+       port: 8080
+     initialDelaySeconds: 0
+     periodSeconds: 10
+     failureThreshold: 30  # 5 minutes to start (10s * 30)
+   ```
+
+2. **livenessProbe** - Restarts unhealthy containers
+   ```yaml
+   livenessProbe:
+     httpGet:
+       path: /health/live
+       port: 8080
+     initialDelaySeconds: 30
+     periodSeconds: 10
+     timeoutSeconds: 5
+     failureThreshold: 3  # Restart after 3 failures
+   ```
+
+3. **readinessProbe** - Controls traffic routing
+   ```yaml
+   readinessProbe:
+     httpGet:
+       path: /health/ready
+       port: 8080
+     initialDelaySeconds: 5
+     periodSeconds: 5
+     failureThreshold: 3  # Remove from service after 3 failures
+   ```
+
+**Probe Mechanisms:**
+
+```yaml
+# HTTP GET
+httpGet:
+  path: /health
+  port: 8080
+  httpHeaders:
+  - name: Authorization
+    value: Bearer token
+
+# TCP Socket
+tcpSocket:
+  port: 3306
+
+# Command execution
+exec:
+  command:
+  - cat
+  - /tmp/healthy
+
+# gRPC (Kubernetes 1.24+)
+grpc:
+  port: 9090
+  service: my.service.health.v1.Health
+```
+
+**Probe Timing Parameters:**
+
+- `initialDelaySeconds`: Wait before first probe
+- `periodSeconds`: How often to probe
+- `timeoutSeconds`: Probe timeout
+- `successThreshold`: Successes needed to mark healthy (1 for liveness/startup)
+- `failureThreshold`: Failures before taking action
+
+#### Security Context
+
+**Pod-level security context:**
+```yaml
+spec:
+  securityContext:
+    runAsNonRoot: true
+    runAsUser: 1000
+    runAsGroup: 1000
+    fsGroup: 1000
+    fsGroupChangePolicy: OnRootMismatch
+    seccompProfile:
+      type: RuntimeDefault
+```
+
+**Container-level security context:**
+```yaml
+containers:
+- name: app
+  securityContext:
+    allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
+    readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
+    runAsNonRoot: true
+    runAsUser: 1000
+    capabilities:
+      drop:
+      - ALL
+      add:
+      - NET_BIND_SERVICE  # Only if needed
+```
+
+**Security best practices:**
+- Always run as non-root (`runAsNonRoot: true`)
+- Drop all capabilities and add only needed ones
+- Use read-only root filesystem when possible
+- Enable seccomp profile
+- Disable privilege escalation
+
+#### Volumes
+
+**Volume Types:**
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+# PersistentVolumeClaim
+- name: data
+  persistentVolumeClaim:
+    claimName: app-data
+
+# ConfigMap
+- name: config
+  configMap:
+    name: app-config
+    items:
+    - key: app.properties
+      path: application.properties
+
+# Secret
+- name: secrets
+  secret:
+    secretName: app-secrets
+    defaultMode: 0400
+
+# EmptyDir (ephemeral)
+- name: cache
+  emptyDir:
+    sizeLimit: 1Gi
+
+# HostPath (avoid in production)
+- name: host-data
+  hostPath:
+    path: /data
+    type: DirectoryOrCreate
+```
+
+#### Scheduling
+
+**Node Selection:**
+
+```yaml
+# Simple node selector
+nodeSelector:
+  disktype: ssd
+  zone: us-west-1a
+
+# Node affinity (more expressive)
+affinity:
+  nodeAffinity:
+    requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
+      nodeSelectorTerms:
+      - matchExpressions:
+        - key: kubernetes.io/arch
+          operator: In
+          values:
+          - amd64
+          - arm64
+```
+
+**Pod Affinity/Anti-Affinity:**
+
+```yaml
+# Spread pods across nodes
+affinity:
+  podAntiAffinity:
+    requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
+    - labelSelector:
+        matchLabels:
+          app: my-app
+      topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
+
+# Co-locate with database
+affinity:
+  podAffinity:
+    preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
+    - weight: 100
+      podAffinityTerm:
+        labelSelector:
+          matchLabels:
+            app: database
+        topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
+```
+
+**Tolerations:**
+
+```yaml
+tolerations:
+- key: "node.kubernetes.io/unreachable"
+  operator: "Exists"
+  effect: "NoExecute"
+  tolerationSeconds: 30
+- key: "dedicated"
+  operator: "Equal"
+  value: "database"
+  effect: "NoSchedule"
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### High Availability Deployment
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+  replicas: 3
+  strategy:
+    type: RollingUpdate
+    rollingUpdate:
+      maxSurge: 1
+      maxUnavailable: 0
+  template:
+    spec:
+      affinity:
+        podAntiAffinity:
+          requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
+          - labelSelector:
+              matchLabels:
+                app: my-app
+            topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
+      topologySpreadConstraints:
+      - maxSkew: 1
+        topologyKey: topology.kubernetes.io/zone
+        whenUnsatisfiable: DoNotSchedule
+        labelSelector:
+          matchLabels:
+            app: my-app
+```
+
+### Sidecar Container Pattern
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - name: app
+        image: myapp:1.0.0
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: shared-logs
+          mountPath: /var/log
+      - name: log-forwarder
+        image: fluent-bit:2.0
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: shared-logs
+          mountPath: /var/log
+          readOnly: true
+      volumes:
+      - name: shared-logs
+        emptyDir: {}
+```
+
+### Init Container for Dependencies
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      initContainers:
+      - name: wait-for-db
+        image: busybox:1.36
+        command:
+        - sh
+        - -c
+        - |
+          until nc -z database-service 5432; do
+            echo "Waiting for database..."
+            sleep 2
+          done
+      - name: run-migrations
+        image: myapp:1.0.0
+        command: ["./migrate", "up"]
+        env:
+        - name: DATABASE_URL
+          valueFrom:
+            secretKeyRef:
+              name: db-credentials
+              key: url
+      containers:
+      - name: app
+        image: myapp:1.0.0
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Production Checklist
+
+- [ ] Set resource requests and limits
+- [ ] Implement all three probe types (startup, liveness, readiness)
+- [ ] Use specific image tags (not :latest)
+- [ ] Configure security context (non-root, read-only filesystem)
+- [ ] Set replica count >= 3 for HA
+- [ ] Configure pod anti-affinity for spread
+- [ ] Set appropriate update strategy (maxUnavailable: 0 for zero-downtime)
+- [ ] Use ConfigMaps and Secrets for configuration
+- [ ] Add standard labels and annotations
+- [ ] Configure graceful shutdown (preStop hook, terminationGracePeriodSeconds)
+- [ ] Set revisionHistoryLimit for rollback capability
+- [ ] Use ServiceAccount with minimal RBAC permissions
+
+### Performance Tuning
+
+**Fast startup:**
+```yaml
+spec:
+  minReadySeconds: 5
+  strategy:
+    rollingUpdate:
+      maxSurge: 2
+      maxUnavailable: 1
+```
+
+**Zero-downtime updates:**
+```yaml
+spec:
+  minReadySeconds: 10
+  strategy:
+    rollingUpdate:
+      maxSurge: 1
+      maxUnavailable: 0
+```
+
+**Graceful shutdown:**
+```yaml
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 60
+      containers:
+      - name: app
+        lifecycle:
+          preStop:
+            exec:
+              command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "sleep 15 && kill -SIGTERM 1"]
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Pods not starting:**
+```bash
+kubectl describe deployment <name>
+kubectl get pods -l app=<app-name>
+kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
+kubectl logs <pod-name>
+```
+
+**ImagePullBackOff:**
+- Check image name and tag
+- Verify imagePullSecrets
+- Check registry credentials
+
+**CrashLoopBackOff:**
+- Check container logs
+- Verify liveness probe is not too aggressive
+- Check resource limits
+- Verify application dependencies
+
+**Deployment stuck in progress:**
+- Check progressDeadlineSeconds
+- Verify readiness probes
+- Check resource availability
