An engineer deletes an unmanaged (naked) Pod that served an open-data API. What happens compared with deleting a Pod owned by a Deployment?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Naked Pods have no parent watching them—delete one and it stays deleted. Put the same workload under a Deployment and the controller shrugs and makes another.
Full Explanation
Pods without an owning controller are not reconciled after deletion. ReplicaSets and Deployments recreate Pods to maintain desired replicas. Schedulers place Pods that exist as API objects; they do not resurrect deleted unmanaged Pods. Labels on a Service do not cause etcd to clone workloads.
