A Deployment for a records-search API shows zero ready Pods. What ownership chain should the developer walk to find the broken application template?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Deployments manage ReplicaSets that manage Pods—follow that breadcrumb trail. When ready is zero, the broken bit is almost always in the Pod template. Describe and log the Pods that RS created.
Full Explanation
A Deployment owns one or more ReplicaSets, which own Pods created from the Deployment’s pod template. If ready replicas are zero, inspect the Deployment status, the active ReplicaSet, then Pod events and logs to find probe failures, crashes, or pull errors stemming from the template. Skipping to Ingress-only paths, config objects alone, or storage classes misses this ownership chain for workload readiness.
