ReplicationController用来确保容器应用的副本数始终保持在用户定义的副本数,即如果有容器异常退出,会自动创建新的Pod来替代;而如果异常多出来的容器也会自动回收。
在新版本的Kubernetes中建议使用ReplicaSet来取代ReplicationController。ReplicaSet跟ReplicationController没有本质的不同,只是名字不一样,并且ReplicaSet支持集合式的selector。
虽然ReplicaSet可以独立使用,但一般还是建议使用 Deployment 来自动管理ReplicaSet,这样就无需担心跟其他机制的不兼容问题(比如ReplicaSet不支持rolling-update但Deployment支持)。
ReplicaSet示例:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: ReplicaSet
metadata:
name: frontend
# these labels can be applied automatically
# from the labels in the pod template if not set
# labels:
# app: guestbook
# tier: frontend
spec:
# this replicas value is default
# modify it according to your case
replicas: 3
# selector can be applied automatically
# from the labels in the pod template if not set,
# but we are specifying the selector here to
# demonstrate its usage.

tier: frontend
matchExpressions:
- {key: tier, operator: In, values: [frontend]}
