ReplicaSet

A ReplicaSet is defined with fields, including a selector that specifies how to identify Pods it can acquire, a number of replicas indicating how many Pods it should be maintaining, and a pod template specifying the data of new Pods it should create to meet the number of replicas criteria.

ReplicaSet then fulfills its purpose by creating and deleting Pods as needed to reach the desired number. When a ReplicaSet needs to create new Pods, it uses its Pod template.

In this case, it’s more or less the same as when we were creating the ReplicationController, except we’re using matchExpressions instead of label.

...
spec:
   replicas: 2
   selector:
     matchExpressions:
      - {key: app, operator: In, values: [guestbook, guest-book, guest_book]}
      - {key: env, operator: NotIn, values: [production]}
...

Now create the RS

$ kubectl create -f frontend-rs.yaml
replicaset.apps/frontend created

Describe the RS

$ kubectl describe replicaset.apps/frontend

Remove the RS

$ kubectl delete -f  frontend-rs.yaml
replicaset.apps "frontend" deleted
