Kubernetes - ReplicaSets and Deployments

You run kubectl get deployment myapp and see:
DESIRED=3, CURRENT=3, UP-TO-DATE=2, AVAILABLE=2
What does this mean about the actual replicas?

ADeployment is paused with 2 Pods running

BOnly 2 Pods exist, 3 are desired

C3 Pods are running and all are updated

D3 Pods are running, but only 2 are updated and ready

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the output fields
Desired=3 means 3 Pods are planned. Current=3 means 3 Pods exist. Up-to-date=2 means 2 Pods have the latest version.
Step 2: Understand available Pods
Available=2 means 2 Pods are ready to serve traffic. So, 3 Pods run but only 2 are updated and ready.
Final Answer:
3 Pods are running, but only 2 are updated and ready -> Option D
Quick Check:
Current = running Pods, Up-to-date & Available show readiness [OK]

Quick Trick: Current = running Pods; Up-to-date = updated Pods [OK]
