kubectl apply -f rs.yaml
- Verify a ReplicaSet was created and there are 2 replicas
kubectl get rs
# OR a more specific way: kubectl get -f rs.yaml
- Remove the ReplicaSet but NOT the pods it created
kubectl delete -f rs.yaml --cascade=false
- Verify you've deleted the ReplicaSet but the Pods are still running
kubectl get rs # no replicas
kubectl get po # Pods still running
- Create again the same ReplicaSet, without changing anything
- Verify that the ReplicaSet used the existing Pods and didn't create new Pods
kubectl describe rs web # You should see there are no new events and if you list the pods with 'kubectl get po -f rs.yaml` you'll see they have the same names
