Working With Replication Controller & Replication Set

A replication controller (RC) is a supervisor for long-running pods. An RC will launch a specified number of pods called replicas and makes sure that they keep running, for example when a node fails or something inside of a pod, that is, in one of its containers goes wrong.

1. Lets deploy some pod with replication controller using yml file, please refer this link

   kubectl create -f rc-definition.yml

2. Get list of replication controller

   kubectl get replicationcontroller

3. Get list of Pods

   kubectl get pods

A ReplicaSet’s purpose is to maintain a stable set of replica Pods running at any given time. As such, it is often used to guarantee the availability of a specified number of identical Pods.

1. Lets deploy some pod with replication controller using yml file, please refer this link

   kubectl create -f rs-definition.yml

2. Get list of replication controller

   kubectl get replicationset

3. Get list of Pods

   kuberctl get pods

4. You can increase the number of pods by updating the yml definition file then running:

   kubectl replace -f rs-definition.yml

5. You can also increase the number of pods by using scale command:

   kubectl scale -replicas=6 -f rs-definition.yml

6. Delete replication set using:

   kubectl delete replication myapp-rs
