 Building on replication controllers, {product-title} adds expanded support for the software development and deployment lifecycle with the concept of `DeploymentConfig` objects. In the simplest case, a `DeploymentConfig` object creates a new replication controller and lets it start up pods.
 
 However, {product-title} deployments from `DeploymentConfig` objects also provide the ability to transition from an existing deployment of an image to a new one and also define hooks to be run before or after creating the replication controller.

+As of {product-title} 4.14, `DeploymentConfig` objects are deprecated. `DeploymentConfig` objects are still supported, but are not recommended for new installations. Only security-related and critical issues will be fixed.
+
+Instead, use `Deployment` objects or another alternative to provide declarative updates for pods.
