When reconfiguring a deployment to add a port specification, which YAML field should you modify?

When reconfiguring a deployment to add a port specification, the correct field to modify is the one that pertains to the container configuration within the pod template. Specifically, you should focus on spec.template.spec.containers, as this part of the YAML structure directly relates to the containers which are part of the pod.

Within the containers array, you can specify various properties for each container including the ports that should be exposed. By modifying this field, you can add a new port configuration, adjusting the container's settings to reflect the desired state.

The other options do not serve the purpose of altering the port specifications for a deployment. The spec.selector field is used to define which pods the deployment manages, while spec.strategy deals with the deployment strategy for rolling updates or recreating pods, and spec.ports is not a valid field in the context of a deployment. Therefore, it is crucial to focus on modifying the container specifications to effectively add or change port configurations in a deployment.
