Annotations only represent descriptive metadata for Kubernetes objects but have no ability to be used for queries. You will learn how to assign and use both concepts.
A big selling point of Kubernetes is rooted in its scalability and replication features. To support those features, Kubernetes offers the Deployment primitive. We’ll look at the creation of a Deployment scaled to multiple replicas, how to roll out a revision of your application, how to roll back to a previous revision, and how to use autoscalers to handle scaling concerns automatically based on the current workload.
Lastly, we’ll touch on the Kubernetes primitives Job and CronJob. A Job models a one-time process—for example, a batch operation. The Pod and its encompassed containers stop running after the work has been completed. CronJobs run periodically according to their defined schedules.
