When is a Deployment recreate strategy acceptable despite briefly taking the app offline?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Recreate is the “close the shop, remodel, reopen” move—old Pods out before new Pods in. Fine when a brief blackout is okay and you refuse version mixing. Don’t pick it for a zero-downtime public storefront.
Full Explanation
strategy.type: Recreate terminates existing Pods before creating new ones, causing a temporary availability gap. It is appropriate when that downtime is acceptable and concurrent versions are undesirable. It is the wrong default when continuous availability is required.
