We're going to learn about deployment and replicaset.
Assume there's a pod containing a nginx container running and because of an issue, the pod is stopped and crashed.
Actually in the real world, we don't tolerate stopping services, because we have some important customer and we are committed to our SLA with them and need to back to up and running state.
So, to overcome that type of problem we implement HA with having at least a copy of our app beside.
Let's say we are going to use replication controller that's manage by controller manager.
Note there's difference between replication controller and replicaset.
ReplicationController It creates a certain number of identical pods, and if a pod fails, replaces it. It also lets you update several pods or delete pods with one command. It's responsible for load balancing the traffic between replicas. replicas can be deploy on different nodes.

1. Create a ReplicationController
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
name: nginx-rc
labels:
env: demo
spec:
template:
metadata:
name: nginx-pod
labels:
env: demo-pod
type: frontend
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx-container
image: nginx
ports:
- containerPort: 80
replicas: 3
root@localhost:~# kubectl apply -f day08-rc.yaml
replicationcontroller/nginx-rc created
root@localhost:~# kubectl get rc
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE

root@localhost:~# kubectl get pod -o wide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES

nginx-rc-rsvfg 1/1 Running 0 3m2s 10.244.2.5 lucky-luke-worker2 <none> <none>
ReplicaSet is the new version of ReplicationController and is declared in the same way, except it has more options for selectors.

Live edit ReplicaSet and change the replicas to 5.
root@localhost:~# kubectl edit rs nginx-rs
replicaset.apps/nginx-rs edited
root@localhost:~# kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-rs 5 5 5 5m59s
root@localhost:~# kubectl get pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-rs-5bxcm 1/1 Running 0 11s

nginx-rs-wvt7n 1/1 Running 0 6m13s 10.244.1.4 lucky-luke-worker <none> <none>
We can use 2 other ways to increase/decrease the replicas. One by editing the manifest and then apply with kubectl command, and other is what you can see below:
root@localhost:~# kubectl scale --replicas=10 rs/nginx-rs
replicaset.apps/nginx-rs scaled
root@localhost:~# kubectl get rs

2. Deployment
It provides some additional functionalities to the ReplicaSet. As a user, we create the deployment and it creates the ReplicaSet and then the ReplicaSet creates pod.
So, they are part of the deployment
(Photo from the video)
In RollingUpdate we can update the version of our app in almost zero downtime, which is very important to us and our customers. Also we can do the RollBack the changes we made easily.
Let's do it

Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I recently launched an open-source project called the Ultimate JavaScript Project, and I'd love your support. Please check it out and give it a star on GitHub: Ultimate JavaScript Project. Your support would mean a lot to me and greatly help in the project's growth.
Thank you!
