Yeah, a deployment should work fine as well because underneath the cover kuberesolver is used to establish the cluster membership. I'm just used to these types of "clustered" deployments being a statefulset, and so that's the only reason. If there are any dependencies on node1 coming online before node2, node3, etc.. then it'll be nice as a statefulset. But yeah, it could be a deployment. What do you think? Should I just change it to a deployment?
