Description: The Deployment Lifecycle in cloud-native environments, such as Kubernetes, refers to the stages an application goes through from its creation to its deletion. This lifecycle includes several key phases: deployment creation, where the application configuration and its resources are defined; updates, which allow modifying the application without downtime; and deletion, which ensures that resources are properly released. Each of these stages is crucial for ensuring that applications run efficiently and at scale. Modern orchestration tools facilitate the management of these phases by providing tools and services that automate provisioning, configuration, and resource monitoring. Additionally, the deployment lifecycle enables developers to implement DevOps practices, such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), improving software agility and quality. In summary, the Deployment Lifecycle is an essential component for managing containerized applications, optimizing performance and availability in cloud environments.
