How do you convert a Kubernetes pod to a deployment?

Export the pod to a yaml definition using the following command:

kubectl get pod yourpod -o yaml > pod.yaml

Create a new deployment definition using the following command:

kubectl create deployment deploymentname --image=imagename --dry-run=client -o yaml > deployment.yaml

Display the pod yaml:

cat pod.yaml

Copy the spec part

Edit the deployment file:

nano deployment.yaml

Paste the pod .spec block to deployment template .spec, correct indentation, save the file.

Create the deployment using the file:

kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
