Service
is a resource you create to make a single, constant point of entry to a group of pods providing the same service. Each service has an IP address and port that never change while the service exists. Clients can open connections to that IP and port, and those connections are then routed to one of the pods backing that service. This way, clients of a service don’t need to know the location of individual pods providing the service, allowing those pods to be moved around the cluster at any time.

Kubernetes Deployment in a Nutshell
A Deployment
is a higher-level resource meant for deploying applications and updating them declaratively, instead of doing it through a ReplicationController
or a ReplicaSet
, which are both considered lower-level concepts.
