K8s objects for telecom: Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets

Pods, Deployments, and StatefulSets

Kubernetes provides several workload objects tailored to different application patterns. A Pod is the smallest deployable unit, containing one or more containers that share network and storage. Deployments manage stateless pods, maintaining a desired replica count and enabling rolling updates. StatefulSets are designed for stateful applications, providing stable network identities, ordered deployment, and persistent storage per replica. In telecom, stateless control plane functions like AMF and SMF run as Deployments, while stateful data stores like UDR and UDSF use StatefulSets to maintain…
