A Deployment can be fully managed by updating the Kubernetes resources files.
kubectl rollout status- Shows the current status of a Deployment’s rollout.
kubectl rollout pause - Pauses a rolling update so that multiple changes can be applied to a Deployment without retriggering another rollout.
kubectl rollout resume - Resumes a previously paused rollout.
kubectl rollout undo - Performs a rollback to a prevision revision of a Deployment. A rollback is helpful in case of an error during the update.
kubectl rollout history - Shows the available revisions of a Deployment.
kubectl rollout restart - Does not perform an update but restarts the current set of Pods belonging to a Deployment using the configured rollout strategy.
