Use these visual guides to connect the key ideas before answering the questions.

Connect the roles in Rollouts, Rollbacks, and Deployment StrategiesKeep desired revision, rolling update, surge capacity, and rollback action as separate workload roles.
Connect the roles in Rollouts, Rollbacks, and Deployment StrategiesA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about rollouts, rollbacks, and deployment strategies.
Revision dataData identifies the new Pod template
Rollout processProcess replaces replicas gradually
Capacity gaugeCapacity limits extra and unavailable replicas
Rollback recoveryRecovery restores a prior Pod template
Verify Rollout verificationConnect rollout verification with its topic-specific inspection, expected outcome, and protected workload boundary.
