# Deployments

**Deployments** are Kubernetes objects used to manage, configure, and scale a number of identical pods. A Deployment defines how pods should be created or updated, manages the update process, and rolls back updated systems — ensuring that applications remain available during the upgrade process. On the Workloads page, select the **Deployments** tab.
