Bellow is the how I watch kubernetes to get deployments status(include added\modified\delete ......)
[boomer@bzha kubernetes]$ curl http://10.110.200.24:8080/apis/extensions/v1beta1/watch/namespaces/kube-system/deployments

when I first start curl to watch the deployment api, I notice that it will return all deployments list first (which type is ADDED), my question is that:
Yes, watching without a resourceVersion specified first sends ADDED events for all existing objects.
It is more common to perform a list operation first to obtain all existing objects, then start a watch passing the resourceVersion from the returned list result to watch for changes from that point.
