Kubernetes - ReplicaSets and Deployments

Which of the following is the correct syntax to specify the container image in a Deployment YAML?

Acontainers: - name: app image: nginx:latest

Bcontainers: - image: nginx:latest name: app

Ccontainer: name: app image: nginx:latest

Dcontainers: name: app image: nginx:latest

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check correct container list syntax
The containers field is a list indicated by a dash (-). Each container must have a name and image.
Step 2: Validate correct order and keys
containers: - name: app image: nginx:latest correctly uses a list with dash, name first, then image. containers: - image: nginx:latest name: app reverses keys but is valid YAML; however, Kubernetes expects name first by convention. Options C and D have syntax errors (missing list or wrong key).
Final Answer:
containers: - name: app image: nginx:latest -> Option A
Quick Check:
Container list uses dash and name/image keys [OK]

Quick Trick: Use dash (-) for containers list with name and image keys [OK]
