# Kubernetes Deployments

The Kubernetes Deployments table provides information about Kubernetes deployments monitored by Datadog across your clusters. Each row represents a Kubernetes deployment and includes metadata about annotations, labels, desired replica counts (spec_replicas), actual replica status (replicas, available, ready, unavailable, updated), deployment strategy (RollingUpdate, Recreate), status conditions, and lifecycle timestamps. This table enables you to monitor deployment health and rollout status, track replica availability and readiness, compare desired vs actual replica counts to detect issues, alert on unavailable replicas, analyze deployment strategies and configurations, and correlate deployments with pod and container performance. Datadog collects kube_deployment_spec_replicas (desired) and kube_deployment_status_replicas (actual) metrics - these numbers should match unless you're in the midst of a deployment or experiencing issues. You can filter and view resources by kube_deployment tag in Datadog.
