Explanation
Kubernetes pods are the smallest deployable units of computing that you can create and manage in Kubernetes. A pod is a group of one or more containers, with shared storage and network resources, and a specification for how to run the containers. Pods are the atomic unit on the Kubernetes platform. Pods are not permanent units in Kubernetes. They can be terminated and replaced anytime, either by the user or by the system. Pods are ephemeral and disposable entities that are created and destroyed dynamically. Pods can be scaled up or down, migrated across nodes, or rescheduled due to failures or maintenance. Pods cannot contain deployments. Deployments are higher-level resources that manage pods and provide declarative updates to them. A deployment can create multiple pods from the same template and ensure that the desired number of pods are always available. A pod can only contain containers and volumes, not other Kubernetes resources.
