title: Configuration Best Practices
---
{% capture overview %}
This document highlights and consolidates configuration best practices that are introduced throughout the user-guide, getting-started documentation, and examples.
This is a living document. If you think of something that is not on this list but might be useful to others, please don't hesitate to file an issue or submit a PR.

{% capture body %}
## General Config Tips
- When defining configurations, specify the latest stable API version (currently v1).
- Configuration files should be stored in version control before being pushed to the cluster. This allows quick roll-back of a configuration if needed. It also aids with cluster re-creation and restoration if necessary.
- Write your configuration files using YAML rather than JSON. Though these formats can be used interchangeably in almost all scenarios, YAML tends to be more user-friendly.
- Group related objects into a single file whenever it makes sense. One file is often easier to manage than several. See the [guestbook-all-in-one.yaml](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/{{page.githubbranch}}/examples/guestbook/all-in-one/guestbook-all-in-one.yaml) file as an example of this syntax.
Note also that many `kubectl` commands can be called on a directory, so you can also call `kubectl create` on a directory of config files. See below for more details.
- Don't specify default values unnecessarily, in order to simplify and minimize configs, and to reduce error. For example, omit the selector and labels in a `ReplicationController` if you want them to be the same as the labels in its `podTemplate`, since those fields are populated from the `podTemplate` labels by default. See the [guestbook app's](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/{{page.githubbranch}}/examples/guestbook/) .yaml files for some [examples](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/{{page.githubbranch}}/examples/guestbook/frontend-deployment.yaml) of this.
- Put an object description in an annotation to allow better introspection.
## "Naked" Pods vs Replication Controllers and Jobs
- If there is a viable alternative to naked pods (in other words: pods not bound to a [replication controller](/docs/user-guide/replication-controller)), go with the alternative. Naked pods will not be rescheduled in the event of node failure.
Replication controllers are almost always preferable to creating pods, except for some explicit [`restartPolicy: Never`](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/#restart-policy) scenarios. A [Job](/docs/concepts/jobs/run-to-completion-finite-workloads/) object (currently in Beta) may also be appropriate.
## Services
- It's typically best to create a [service](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/) before corresponding [replication controllers](/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/replicationcontroller/). This lets the scheduler spread the pods that comprise the service.
You can also use this process to ensure that at least one replica works before creating lots of them:
1. Create a replication controller without specifying replicas (this will set replicas=1);
2. Create a service;
3. Then scale up the replication controller.
- Don't use `hostPort` unless it is absolutely necessary (for example: for a node daemon). It specifies the port number to expose on the host. When you bind a Pod to a `hostPort`, there are a limited number of places to schedule a pod due to port conflicts— you can only schedule as many such Pods as there are nodes in your Kubernetes cluster.
If you only need access to the port for debugging purposes, you can use the [kubectl proxy and apiserver proxy](/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/http-proxy-access-api/) or [kubectl port-forward](/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/).
You can use a [Service](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/) object for external service access.
If you explicitly need to expose a pod's port on the host machine, consider using a [NodePort](/docs/user-guide/services/#type-nodeport) service before resorting to `hostPort`.
- Avoid using `hostNetwork`, for the same reasons as `hostPort`.
- Use _headless services_ for easy service discovery when you don't need kube-proxy load balancing. See [headless services](/docs/user-guide/services/#headless-services).
## Using Labels
- Define and use [labels](/docs/user-guide/labels/) that identify __semantic attributes__ of your application or deployment. For example, instead of attaching a label to a set of pods to explicitly represent some service (For example, `service: myservice`), or explicitly representing the replication controller managing the pods (for example, `controller: mycontroller`), attach labels that identify semantic attributes, such as `{ app: myapp, tier: frontend, phase: test, deployment: v3 }`. This will let you select the object groups appropriate to the context— for example, a service for all "tier: frontend" pods, or all "test" phase components of app "myapp". See the [guestbook](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/{{page.githubbranch}}/examples/guestbook/) app for an example of this approach.
A service can be made to span multiple deployments, such as is done across [rolling updates](/docs/tasks/run-application/rolling-update-replication-controller/), by simply omitting release-specific labels from its selector, rather than updating a service's selector to match the replication controller's selector fully.
- To facilitate rolling updates, include version info in replication controller names, for example as a suffix to the name. It is useful to set a 'version' label as well. The rolling update creates a new controller as opposed to modifying the existing controller. So, there will be issues with version-agnostic controller names. See the [documentation](/docs/tasks/run-application/rolling-update-replication-controller/) on the rolling-update command for more detail.
Note that the [Deployment](/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) object obviates the need to manage replication controller 'version names'. A desired state of an object is described by a Deployment, and if changes to that spec are _applied_, the deployment controller changes the actual state to the desired state at a controlled rate. (Deployment objects are currently part of the [`extensions` API Group](/docs/concepts/overview/kubernetes-api/#api-groups).)
- You can manipulate labels for debugging. Because Kubernetes replication controllers and services match to pods using labels, this allows you to remove a pod from being considered by a controller, or served traffic by a service, by removing the relevant selector labels. If you remove the labels of an existing pod, its controller will create a new pod to take its place. This is a useful way to debug a previously "live" pod in a quarantine environment. See the [`kubectl label`](/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/) command.
## Container Images
- The [default container image pull policy](/docs/concepts/containers/images/) is `IfNotPresent`, which causes the [Kubelet](/docs/admin/kubelet/) to not pull an image if it already exists. If you would like to always force a pull, you must specify a pull image policy of `Always` in your .yaml file (`imagePullPolicy: Always`) or specify a `:latest` tag on your image.
That is, if you're specifying an image with other than the `:latest` tag, for example `myimage:v1`, and there is an image update to that same tag, the Kubelet won't pull the updated image. You can address this by ensuring that any updates to an image bump the image tag as well (for example, `myimage:v2`), and ensuring that your configs point to the correct version.
**Note:** You should avoid using `:latest` tag when deploying containers in production, because this makes it hard to track which version of the image is running and hard to roll back.
- To work only with a specific version of an image, you can specify an image with its digest (SHA256). This approach guarantees that the image will never update. For detailed information about working with image digests, see [the Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/pull/#pull-an-image-by-digest-immutable-identifier).
## Using kubectl
- Use `kubectl create -f <directory>` where possible. This looks for config objects in all `.yaml`, `.yml`, and `.json` files in `<directory>` and passes them to `create`.
- Use `kubectl delete` rather than `stop`. `Delete` has a superset of the functionality of `stop`, and `stop` is deprecated.
- Use kubectl bulk operations (via files and/or labels) for get and delete. See [label selectors](/docs/user-guide/labels/#label-selectors) and [using labels effectively](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/manage-deployment/#using-labels-effectively).
- Use `kubectl run` and `expose` to quickly create and expose single container Deployments. See the [quick start guide](/docs/user-guide/quick-start/) for an example.

title: Ingress Resources
---
* TOC
{:toc}
__Terminology__
Throughout this doc you will see a few terms that are sometimes used interchangeably elsewhere, that might cause confusion. This section attempts to clarify them.
* Node: A single virtual or physical machine in a Kubernetes cluster.
* Cluster: A group of nodes firewalled from the internet, that are the primary compute resources managed by Kubernetes.
* Edge router: A router that enforces the firewall policy for your cluster. This could be a gateway managed by a cloud provider or a physical piece of hardware.
* Cluster network: A set of links, logical or physical, that facilitate communication within a cluster according to the [Kubernetes networking model](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/networking/). Examples of a Cluster network include Overlays such as [flannel](https://github.com/coreos/flannel#flannel) or SDNs such as [OVS](/docs/admin/ovs-networking/).
* Service: A Kubernetes [Service](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/) that identifies a set of pods using label selectors. Unless mentioned otherwise, Services are assumed to have virtual IPs only routable within the cluster network.
## What is Ingress?
Typically, services and pods have IPs only routable by the cluster network. All traffic that ends up at an edge router is either dropped or forwarded elsewhere. Conceptually, this might look like:
```
internet
|
------------
[ Services ]
```
An Ingress is a collection of rules that allow inbound connections to reach the cluster services.
```
internet
|
[ Ingress ]
--|-----|--
[ Services ]
```
It can be configured to give services externally-reachable URLs, load balance traffic, terminate SSL, offer name based virtual hosting etc. Users request ingress by POSTing the Ingress resource to the API server. An [Ingress controller](#ingress-controllers) is responsible for fulfilling the Ingress, usually with a loadbalancer, though it may also configure your edge router or additional frontends to help handle the traffic in an HA manner.
## Prerequisites
Before you start using the Ingress resource, there are a few things you should understand. The Ingress is a beta resource, not available in any Kubernetes release prior to 1.1. You need an Ingress controller to satisfy an Ingress, simply creating the resource will have no effect.
GCE/GKE deploys an ingress controller on the master. You can deploy any number of custom ingress controllers in a pod. You must annotate each ingress with the appropriate class, as indicated [here](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/nginx#running-multiple-ingress-controllers) and [here](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/gce/BETA_LIMITATIONS.md#disabling-glbc).
Make sure you review the [beta limitations](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/gce/BETA_LIMITATIONS.md) of this controller. In environments other than GCE/GKE, you need to [deploy a controller](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers) as a pod.
## The Ingress Resource
A minimal Ingress might look like:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: test-ingress
annotations:
ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /testpath
backend:
serviceName: test
servicePort: 80
```
*POSTing this to the API server will have no effect if you have not configured an [Ingress controller](#ingress-controllers).*
__Lines 1-6__: As with all other Kubernetes config, an Ingress needs `apiVersion`, `kind`, and `metadata` fields. For general information about working with config files, see [deploying applications](/docs/tasks/run-application/run-stateless-application-deployment/), [configuring containers](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configmap/), [managing resources](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/manage-deployment/) and [ingress configuration rewrite](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/blob/master/controllers/nginx/configuration.md#rewrite).
__Lines 7-9__: Ingress [spec](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#spec-and-status) has all the information needed to configure a loadbalancer or proxy server. Most importantly, it contains a list of rules matched against all incoming requests. Currently the Ingress resource only supports http rules.
__Lines 10-11__: Each http rule contains the following information: A host (e.g.: foo.bar.com, defaults to * in this example), a list of paths (e.g.: /testpath) each of which has an associated backend (test:80). Both the host and path must match the content of an incoming request before the loadbalancer directs traffic to the backend.
__Lines 12-14__: A backend is a service:port combination as described in the [services doc](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/). Ingress traffic is typically sent directly to the endpoints matching a backend.
__Global Parameters__: For the sake of simplicity the example Ingress has no global parameters, see the [API reference](https://releases.k8s.io/{{page.githubbranch}}/staging/src/k8s.io/api/extensions/v1beta1/types.go) for a full definition of the resource. One can specify a global default backend in the absence of which requests that don't match a path in the spec are sent to the default backend of the Ingress controller.
## Ingress controllers
In order for the Ingress resource to work, the cluster must have an Ingress controller running. This is unlike other types of controllers, which typically run as part of the `kube-controller-manager` binary, and which are typically started automatically as part of cluster creation. You need to choose the ingress controller implementation that is the best fit for your cluster, or implement one. Examples and instructions can be found [here](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers).
## Before you begin
The following document describes a set of cross platform features exposed through the Ingress resource. Ideally, all Ingress controllers should fulfill this specification, but we're not there yet. The docs for the GCE and nginx controllers are [here](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/gce/README.md) and [here](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/nginx/README.md) respectively. **Make sure you review controller specific docs so you understand the caveats of each one**.
## Types of Ingress
### Single Service Ingress
There are existing Kubernetes concepts that allow you to expose a single service (see [alternatives](#alternatives)), however you can do so through an Ingress as well, by specifying a *default backend* with no rules.
{% include code.html language="yaml" file="ingress.yaml" ghlink="/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress.yaml" %}
If you create it using `kubectl create -f` you should see:
```shell
$ kubectl get ing
NAME RULE BACKEND ADDRESS
test-ingress - testsvc:80 107.178.254.228
```
Where `107.178.254.228` is the IP allocated by the Ingress controller to satisfy this Ingress. The `RULE` column shows that all traffic send to the IP is directed to the Kubernetes Service listed under `BACKEND`.
### Simple fanout
As described previously, pods within kubernetes have IPs only visible on the cluster network, so we need something at the edge accepting ingress traffic and proxying it to the right endpoints. This component is usually a highly available loadbalancer. An Ingress allows you to keep the number of loadbalancers down to a minimum, for example, a setup like:
```shell
foo.bar.com -> 178.91.123.132 -> / foo s1:80
/ bar s2:80
```
would require an Ingress such as:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: test
annotations:
ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- host: foo.bar.com
http:
paths:
- path: /foo
backend:
serviceName: s1
servicePort: 80
- path: /bar
backend:
serviceName: s2
servicePort: 80
```
When you create the Ingress with `kubectl create -f`:
```shell
$ kubectl get ing
NAME RULE BACKEND ADDRESS
test -
foo.bar.com
/foo s1:80
/bar s2:80
```
The Ingress controller will provision an implementation specific loadbalancer that satisfies the Ingress, as long as the services (s1, s2) exist. When it has done so, you will see the address of the loadbalancer under the last column of the Ingress.
### Name based virtual hosting
Name-based virtual hosts use multiple host names for the same IP address.
```
foo.bar.com --| |-> foo.bar.com s1:80
| 178.91.123.132 |
bar.foo.com --| |-> bar.foo.com s2:80
```
The following Ingress tells the backing loadbalancer to route requests based on the [Host header](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.4).
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: test
spec:
rules:
- host: foo.bar.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: s1
servicePort: 80
- host: bar.foo.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: s2
servicePort: 80
```
__Default Backends__: An Ingress with no rules, like the one shown in the previous section, sends all traffic to a single default backend. You can use the same technique to tell a loadbalancer where to find your website's 404 page, by specifying a set of rules *and* a default backend. Traffic is routed to your default backend if none of the Hosts in your Ingress match the Host in the request header, and/or none of the paths match the URL of the request.
### TLS
You can secure an Ingress by specifying a [secret](/docs/user-guide/secrets) that contains a TLS private key and certificate. Currently the Ingress only supports a single TLS port, 443, and assumes TLS termination. If the TLS configuration section in an Ingress specifies different hosts, they will be multiplexed on the same port according to the hostname specified through the SNI TLS extension (provided the Ingress controller supports SNI). The TLS secret must contain keys named `tls.crt` and `tls.key` that contain the certificate and private key to use for TLS, e.g.:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
tls.crt: base64 encoded cert
tls.key: base64 encoded key
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: testsecret
namespace: default
type: Opaque
```
Referencing this secret in an Ingress will tell the Ingress controller to secure the channel from the client to the loadbalancer using TLS:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: no-rules-map
spec:
tls:
- secretName: testsecret
backend:
serviceName: s1
servicePort: 80
```
Note that there is a gap between TLS features supported by various Ingress controllers. Please refer to documentation on [nginx](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/nginx/README.md#https), [GCE](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/gce/README.md#tls), or any other platform specific Ingress controller to understand how TLS works in your environment.
### Loadbalancing
An Ingress controller is bootstrapped with some loadbalancing policy settings that it applies to all Ingress, such as the loadbalancing algorithm, backend weight scheme etc. More advanced loadbalancing concepts (e.g.: persistent sessions, dynamic weights) are not yet exposed through the Ingress. You can still get these features through the [service loadbalancer](https://git.k8s.io/contrib/service-loadbalancer). With time, we plan to distill loadbalancing patterns that are applicable cross platform into the Ingress resource.
It's also worth noting that even though health checks are not exposed directly through the Ingress, there exist parallel concepts in Kubernetes such as [readiness probes](/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-probes/) which allow you to achieve the same end result. Please review the controller specific docs to see how they handle health checks ([nginx](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/nginx/README.md), [GCE](https://git.k8s.io/ingress/controllers/gce/README.md#health-checks)).
## Updating an Ingress
Say you'd like to add a new Host to an existing Ingress, you can update it by editing the resource:
```shell
$ kubectl get ing
NAME RULE BACKEND ADDRESS
test - 178.91.123.132
foo.bar.com
/foo s1:80
$ kubectl edit ing test
```
This should pop up an editor with the existing yaml, modify it to include the new Host.
```yaml
spec:
rules:
- host: foo.bar.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: s1
servicePort: 80
path: /foo
- host: bar.baz.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: s2
servicePort: 80
path: /foo
..
```
saving it will update the resource in the API server, which should tell the Ingress controller to reconfigure the loadbalancer.
```shell
$ kubectl get ing
NAME RULE BACKEND ADDRESS
test - 178.91.123.132
foo.bar.com
/foo s1:80
bar.baz.com
/foo s2:80
```
You can achieve the same by invoking `kubectl replace -f` on a modified Ingress yaml file.
## Failing across availability zones
Techniques for spreading traffic across failure domains differs between cloud providers. Please check the documentation of the relevant Ingress controller for details. Please refer to the federation [doc](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/federation/) for details on deploying Ingress in a federated cluster.
## Future Work
* Various modes of HTTPS/TLS support (e.g.: SNI, re-encryption)
* Requesting an IP or Hostname via claims
* Combining L4 and L7 Ingress
* More Ingress controllers
Please track the [L7 and Ingress proposal](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/12827) for more details on the evolution of the resource, and the [Ingress repository](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/tree/master) for more details on the evolution of various Ingress controllers.
## Alternatives
You can expose a Service in multiple ways that don't directly involve the Ingress resource:
* Use [Service.Type=LoadBalancer](/docs/user-guide/services/#type-loadbalancer)
* Use [Service.Type=NodePort](/docs/user-guide/services/#type-nodeport)
* Use a [Port Proxy](https://git.k8s.io/contrib/for-demos/proxy-to-service)
* Deploy the [Service loadbalancer](https://git.k8s.io/contrib/service-loadbalancer). This allows you to share a single IP among multiple Services and achieve more advanced loadbalancing through Service Annotations.

A _Deployment_ controller provides declarative updates for [Pods](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod/) and
[ReplicaSets](/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/replicaset/).
You describe a _desired state_ in a Deployment object, and the Deployment controller changes the actual state to the desired state at a controlled rate. You can define Deployments to create new ReplicaSets, or to remove existing Deployments and adopt all their resources with new Deployments.
**Note:** You should not manage ReplicaSets owned by a Deployment. All the use cases should be covered by manipulating the Deployment object. Consider opening an issue in the main Kubernetes repository if your use case is not covered below.

## Use Case
The following are typical use cases for Deployments:
* [Create a Deployment to rollout a ReplicaSet](#creating-a-deployment). The ReplicaSet creates Pods in the background. Check the status of the rollout to see if it succeeds or not.
* [Declare the new state of the Pods](#updating-a-deployment) by updating the PodTemplateSpec of the Deployment. A new ReplicaSet is created and the Deployment manages moving the Pods from the old ReplicaSet to the new one at a controlled rate. Each new ReplicaSet updates the revision of the Deployment.
* [Rollback to an earlier Deployment revision](#rolling-back-a-deployment) if the current state of the Deployment is not stable. Each rollback updates the revision of the Deployment.
* [Scale up the Deployment to facilitate more load.](#scaling-a-deployment)
* [Pause the Deployment](#pausing-and-resuming-a-deployment) to apply multiple fixes to its PodTemplateSpec and then resume it to start a new rollout.
* [Use the status of the Deployment](#deployment-status) as an indicator that a rollout has stuck
* [Clean up older ReplicaSets](#clean-up-policy) that you don't need anymore
## Creating a Deployment
Here is an example Deployment. It creates a ReplicaSet to bring up three nginx Pods.
{% include code.html language="yaml" file="nginx-deployment.yaml" ghlink="/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/nginx-deployment.yaml" %}
Run the example by downloading the example file and then running this command:
```shell
$ kubectl create -f docs/user-guide/nginx-deployment.yaml --record
deployment "nginx-deployment" created
```
Setting the kubectl flag `--record` to `true` allows you to record current command in the annotations of
the resources being created or updated. It is useful for future introspection: for example, to see the
commands executed in each Deployment revision.
Then running `get` immediately will give:
```shell
$ kubectl get deployments
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx-deployment 3 0 0 0 1s
```
This indicates that the Deployment's number of desired replicas is 3 (according to deployment's `.spec.replicas`),
the number of current replicas (`.status.replicas`) is 0, the number of up-to-date replicas (`.status.updatedReplicas`)
is 0, and the number of available replicas (`.status.availableReplicas`) is also 0.
To see the Deployment rollout status, run:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout status deployment/nginx-deployment
Waiting for rollout to finish: 2 out of 3 new replicas have been updated...
deployment "nginx-deployment" successfully rolled out
```
Running the `get` again a few seconds later should give:
```shell
$ kubectl get deployments
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx-deployment 3 3 3 3 18s
```
This indicates that the Deployment has created all three replicas, and all replicas are up-to-date (contains the
latest pod template) and available (pod status is ready for at least Deployment's `.spec.minReadySeconds`). Running
`kubectl get rs` and `kubectl get pods` will show the ReplicaSet (RS) and Pods created.
```shell
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-deployment-2035384211 3 3 3 18s
```
You may notice that the name of the ReplicaSet is always `<the name of the Deployment>-<hash value of the pod template>`.
```shell
$ kubectl get pods --show-labels
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE LABELS
nginx-deployment-2035384211-7ci7o 1/1 Running 0 18s app=nginx,pod-template-hash=2035384211
nginx-deployment-2035384211-kzszj 1/1 Running 0 18s app=nginx,pod-template-hash=2035384211
nginx-deployment-2035384211-qqcnn 1/1 Running 0 18s app=nginx,pod-template-hash=2035384211
```
The created ReplicaSet ensures that there are three nginx Pods at all times.
**Note:** You must specify an appropriate selector and pod template labels in a Deployment (in this case,
`app = nginx`). That is, don't overlap with other controllers (including other Deployments, ReplicaSets,
StatefulSets, etc.). Kubernetes doesn't stop you from overlapping, and if multiple
controllers have overlapping selectors, those controllers may fight with each other and won't behave
correctly.
{: .note}
### Pod-template-hash label
**Note:** Do not change this label.
{: .note}
Note the pod-template-hash label in the example output in the pod labels above. This label is added by the
Deployment controller to every ReplicaSet that a Deployment creates or adopts. Its purpose is to make sure that child
ReplicaSets of a Deployment do not overlap. It is computed by hashing the PodTemplate of the ReplicaSet
and using the resulting hash as the label value that will be added in the ReplicaSet selector, pod template labels,
and in any existing Pods that the ReplicaSet may have.
## Updating a Deployment
**Note:** A Deployment's rollout is triggered if and only if the Deployment's pod template (that is, `.spec.template`)
is changed, for example if the labels or container images of the template are updated. Other updates, such as scaling the Deployment, do not trigger a rollout.
{: .note}
Suppose that we now want to update the nginx Pods to use the `nginx:1.9.1` image
instead of the `nginx:1.7.9` image.
```shell
$ kubectl set image deployment/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:1.9.1
deployment "nginx-deployment" image updated
```
Alternatively, we can `edit` the Deployment and change `.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image` from `nginx:1.7.9` to `nginx:1.9.1`:
```shell
$ kubectl edit deployment/nginx-deployment
deployment "nginx-deployment" edited
```
To see the rollout status, run:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout status deployment/nginx-deployment
Waiting for rollout to finish: 2 out of 3 new replicas have been updated...
deployment "nginx-deployment" successfully rolled out
```
After the rollout succeeds, you may want to `get` the Deployment:
```shell
$ kubectl get deployments
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx-deployment 3 3 3 3 36s
```
The number of up-to-date replicas indicates that the Deployment has updated the replicas to the latest configuration.
The current replicas indicates the total replicas this Deployment manages, and the available replicas indicates the
number of current replicas that are available.
We can run `kubectl get rs` to see that the Deployment updated the Pods by creating a new ReplicaSet and scaling it
up to 3 replicas, as well as scaling down the old ReplicaSet to 0 replicas.
```shell
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-deployment-1564180365 3 3 3 6s
nginx-deployment-2035384211 0 0 0 36s
```
Running `get pods` should now show only the new Pods:
```shell
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-deployment-1564180365-khku8 1/1 Running 0 14s
nginx-deployment-1564180365-nacti 1/1 Running 0 14s
nginx-deployment-1564180365-z9gth 1/1 Running 0 14s
```
Next time we want to update these Pods, we only need to update the Deployment's pod template again.
Deployment can ensure that only a certain number of Pods may be down while they are being updated. By
default, it ensures that at least 1 less than the desired number of Pods are up (1 max unavailable).
Deployment can also ensure that only a certain number of Pods may be created above the desired number of
Pods. By default, it ensures that at most 1 more than the desired number of Pods are up (1 max surge).
In a future version of Kubernetes, the defaults will change from 1-1 to 25%-25%.
For example, if you look at the above Deployment closely, you will see that it first created a new Pod,
then deleted some old Pods and created new ones. It does not kill old Pods until a sufficient number of
new Pods have come up, and does not create new Pods until a sufficient number of old Pods have been killed.
It makes sure that number of available Pods is at least 2 and the number of total Pods is at most 4.
```shell
$ kubectl describe deployments

21s 21s 1 {deployment-controller } Normal ScalingReplicaSet Scaled up replica set nginx-deployment-1564180365 to 3
```
Here we see that when we first created the Deployment, it created a ReplicaSet (nginx-deployment-2035384211)
and scaled it up to 3 replicas directly. When we updated the Deployment, it created a new ReplicaSet
(nginx-deployment-1564180365) and scaled it up to 1 and then scaled down the old ReplicaSet to 2, so that at
least 2 Pods were available and at most 4 Pods were created at all times. It then continued scaling up and down
the new and the old ReplicaSet, with the same rolling update strategy. Finally, we'll have 3 available replicas
in the new ReplicaSet, and the old ReplicaSet is scaled down to 0.
### Rollover (aka multiple updates in-flight)
Each time a new deployment object is observed by the deployment controller, a ReplicaSet is created to bring up
the desired Pods if there is no existing ReplicaSet doing so. Existing ReplicaSet controlling Pods whose labels
match `.spec.selector` but whose template does not match `.spec.template` are scaled down. Eventually, the new
ReplicaSet will be scaled to `.spec.replicas` and all old ReplicaSets will be scaled to 0.
If you update a Deployment while an existing rollout is in progress, the Deployment will create a new ReplicaSet
as per the update and start scaling that up, and will roll over the ReplicaSet that it was scaling up previously
-- it will add it to its list of old ReplicaSets and will start scaling it down.
For example, suppose you create a Deployment to create 5 replicas of `nginx:1.7.9`,
but then updates the Deployment to create 5 replicas of `nginx:1.9.1`, when only 3
replicas of `nginx:1.7.9` had been created. In that case, Deployment will immediately start
killing the 3 `nginx:1.7.9` Pods that it had created, and will start creating
`nginx:1.9.1` Pods. It will not wait for 5 replicas of `nginx:1.7.9` to be created
before changing course.
### Label selector updates
It is generally discouraged to make label selector updates and it is suggested to plan your selectors up front.
In any case, if you need to perform a label selector update, exercise great caution and make sure you have grasped
all of the implications.
* Selector additions require the pod template labels in the Deployment spec to be updated with the new label too,
otherwise a validation error is returned. This change is a non-overlapping one, meaning that the new selector does
not select ReplicaSets and Pods created with the old selector, resulting in orphaning all old ReplicaSets and
creating a new ReplicaSet.
* Selector updates -- that is, changing the existing value in a selector key -- result in the same behavior as additions.
* Selector removals -- that is, removing an existing key from the Deployment selector -- do not require any changes in the
pod template labels. No existing ReplicaSet is orphaned, and a new ReplicaSet is not created, but note that the
removed label still exists in any existing Pods and ReplicaSets.
## Rolling Back a Deployment
Sometimes you may want to rollback a Deployment; for example, when the Deployment is not stable, such as crash looping.
By default, all of the Deployment's rollout history is kept in the system so that you can rollback anytime you want
(you can change that by modifying revision history limit).
**Note:** A Deployment's revision is created when a Deployment's rollout is triggered. This means that the
new revision is created if and only if the Deployment's pod template (`.spec.template`) is changed,
for example if you update the labels or container images of the template. Other updates, such as scaling the Deployment,
do not create a Deployment revision, so that we can facilitate simultaneous manual- or auto-scaling.
This means that when you roll back to an earlier revision, only the Deployment's pod template part is
rolled back.
{: .note}
Suppose that we made a typo while updating the Deployment, by putting the image name as `nginx:1.91` instead of `nginx:1.9.1`:
```shell
$ kubectl set image deployment/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:1.91
deployment "nginx-deployment" image updated
```
The rollout will be stuck.
```shell
$ kubectl rollout status deployments nginx-deployment
Waiting for rollout to finish: 2 out of 3 new replicas have been updated...
```
Press Ctrl-C to stop the above rollout status watch. For more information on stuck rollouts,
[read more here](#deployment-status).
You will also see that both the number of old replicas (nginx-deployment-1564180365 and
nginx-deployment-2035384211) and new replicas (nginx-deployment-3066724191) are 2.
```shell
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-deployment-1564180365 2 2 0 25s
nginx-deployment-2035384211 0 0 0 36s
nginx-deployment-3066724191 2 2 2 6s
```
Looking at the Pods created, you will see that the 2 Pods created by new ReplicaSet are stuck in an image pull loop.
```shell
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-deployment-1564180365-70iae 1/1 Running 0 25s
nginx-deployment-1564180365-jbqqo 1/1 Running 0 25s
nginx-deployment-3066724191-08mng 0/1 ImagePullBackOff 0 6s
nginx-deployment-3066724191-eocby 0/1 ImagePullBackOff 0 6s
```
**Note:** The Deployment controller will stop the bad rollout automatically, and will stop scaling up the new
ReplicaSet. This depends on the rollingUpdate parameters (`maxUnavailable` specifically) that you have specified.
Kubernetes by default sets the value to 1 and spec.replicas to 1 so if you haven't cared about setting those
parameters, your Deployment can have 100% unavailability by default! This will be fixed in Kubernetes in a future
version.
{: .note}

```
To fix this, we need to rollback to a previous revision of Deployment that is stable.
### Checking Rollout History of a Deployment
First, check the revisions of this deployment:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout history deployment/nginx-deployment
deployments "nginx-deployment"
REVISION CHANGE-CAUSE
1 kubectl create -f docs/user-guide/nginx-deployment.yaml --record
2 kubectl set image deployment/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:1.9.1
3 kubectl set image deployment/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:1.91
```
Because we recorded the command while creating this Deployment using `--record`, we can easily see
the changes we made in each revision.
To further see the details of each revision, run:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout history deployment/nginx-deployment --revision=2
deployments "nginx-deployment" revision 2
Labels: app=nginx
pod-template-hash=1159050644
Annotations: kubernetes.io/change-cause=kubectl set image deployment/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:1.9.1
Containers:
nginx:
Image: nginx:1.9.1
Port: 80/TCP
QoS Tier:
cpu: BestEffort
memory: BestEffort
Environment Variables: <none>
No volumes.
```
### Rolling Back to a Previous Revision
Now we've decided to undo the current rollout and rollback to the previous revision:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout undo deployment/nginx-deployment
deployment "nginx-deployment" rolled back
```
Alternatively, you can rollback to a specific revision by specify that in `--to-revision`:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout undo deployment/nginx-deployment --to-revision=2
deployment "nginx-deployment" rolled back
```
For more details about rollout related commands, read [`kubectl rollout`](/docs/user-guide/kubectl/{{page.version}}/#rollout).
The Deployment is now rolled back to a previous stable revision. As you can see, a `DeploymentRollback` event
for rolling back to revision 2 is generated from Deployment controller.
```shell
$ kubectl get deployment
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE

```
## Scaling a Deployment
You can scale a Deployment by using the following command:
```shell
$ kubectl scale deployment nginx-deployment --replicas=10
deployment "nginx-deployment" scaled
```
Assuming [horizontal pod autoscaling](/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale-walkthrough/) is enabled
in your cluster, you can setup an autoscaler for your Deployment and choose the minimum and maximum number of
Pods you want to run based on the CPU utilization of your existing Pods.
```shell
$ kubectl autoscale deployment nginx-deployment --min=10 --max=15 --cpu-percent=80
deployment "nginx-deployment" autoscaled
```
### Proportional scaling
RollingUpdate Deployments support running multiple versions of an application at the same time. When you
or an autoscaler scales a RollingUpdate Deployment that is in the middle of a rollout (either in progress
or paused), then the Deployment controller will balance the additional replicas in the existing active
ReplicaSets (ReplicaSets with Pods) in order to mitigate risk. This is called *proportional scaling*.
For example, you are running a Deployment with 10 replicas, [maxSurge](#max-surge)=3, and [maxUnavailable](#max-unavailable)=2.
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx-deployment 10 10 10 10 50s
```
You update to a new image which happens to be unresolvable from inside the cluster.
```shell
$ kubectl set image deploy/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:sometag
deployment "nginx-deployment" image updated
```
The image update starts a new rollout with ReplicaSet nginx-deployment-1989198191, but it's blocked due to the
maxUnavailable requirement that we mentioned above.
```shell
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-deployment-1989198191 5 5 0 9s
nginx-deployment-618515232 8 8 8 1m
```
Then a new scaling request for the Deployment comes along. The autoscaler increments the Deployment replicas
to 15. The Deployment controller needs to decide where to add these new 5 replicas. If we weren't using
proportional scaling, all 5 of them would be added in the new ReplicaSet. With proportional scaling, we
spread the additional replicas across all ReplicaSets. Bigger proportions go to the ReplicaSets with the
most replicas and lower proportions go to ReplicaSets with less replicas. Any leftovers are added to the
ReplicaSet with the most replicas. ReplicaSets with zero replicas are not scaled up.
In our example above, 3 replicas will be added to the old ReplicaSet and 2 replicas will be added to the
new ReplicaSet. The rollout process should eventually move all replicas to the new ReplicaSet, assuming
the new replicas become healthy.
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx-deployment 15 18 7 8 7m
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-deployment-1989198191 7 7 0 7m
nginx-deployment-618515232 11 11 11 7m
```
## Pausing and Resuming a Deployment
You can pause a Deployment before triggering one or more updates and then resume it. This will allow you to
apply multiple fixes in between pausing and resuming without triggering unnecessary rollouts.
For example, with a Deployment that was just created:
```shell
$ kubectl get deploy
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
nginx 3 3 3 3 1m
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-2142116321 3 3 3 1m
```
Pause by running the following command:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout pause deployment/nginx-deployment
deployment "nginx-deployment" paused
```
Then update the image of the Deployment:
```shell
$ kubectl set image deploy/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:1.9.1
deployment "nginx-deployment" image updated
```
Notice that no new rollout started:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout history deploy/nginx-deployment
deployments "nginx"
REVISION CHANGE-CAUSE
1 <none>
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-2142116321 3 3 3 2m
```
You can make as many updates as you wish, for example, update the resources that will be used:
```shell
$ kubectl set resources deployment nginx -c=nginx --limits=cpu=200m,memory=512Mi
deployment "nginx" resource requirements updated
```
The initial state of the Deployment prior to pausing it will continue its function, but new updates to
the Deployment will not have any effect as long as the Deployment is paused.
Eventually, resume the Deployment and observe a new ReplicaSet coming up with all the new updates:
```shell
$ kubectl rollout resume deploy/nginx-deployment
deployment "nginx" resumed
$ kubectl get rs -w
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-2142116321 2 2 2 2m
nginx-3926361531 2 2 0 6s
nginx-3926361531 2 2 1 18s
nginx-2142116321 1 2 2 2m
nginx-2142116321 1 2 2 2m
nginx-3926361531 3 2 1 18s
nginx-3926361531 3 2 1 18s
nginx-2142116321 1 1 1 2m
nginx-3926361531 3 3 1 18s
nginx-3926361531 3 3 2 19s
nginx-2142116321 0 1 1 2m
nginx-2142116321 0 1 1 2m
nginx-2142116321 0 0 0 2m
nginx-3926361531 3 3 3 20s
^C
$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-2142116321 0 0 0 2m
nginx-3926361531 3 3 3 28s
```
**Note:** You cannot rollback a paused Deployment until you resume it.
{: .note}
## Deployment status
A Deployment enters various states during its lifecycle. It can be [progressing](#progressing-deployment) while
rolling out a new ReplicaSet, it can be [complete](#complete-deployment), or it can [fail to progress](#failed-deployment).
### Progressing Deployment
Kubernetes marks a Deployment as _progressing_ when one of the following tasks is performed:
* The Deployment creates a new ReplicaSet.
* The Deployment is scaling up its newest ReplicaSet.
* The Deployment is scaling down its older ReplicaSet(s).
* New Pods become ready or available (ready for at least [MinReadySeconds](#min-ready-seconds)).
You can monitor the progress for a Deployment by using `kubectl rollout status`.
### Complete Deployment
Kubernetes marks a Deployment as _complete_ when it has the following characteristics:
* All of the replicas associated with the Deployment have been updated to the latest version you've specified, meaning any
updates you've requested have been completed.
* All of the replicas associated with the Deployment are available.
* No old replicas for the Deployment are running.
You can check if a Deployment has completed by using `kubectl rollout status`. If the rollout completed
successfully, `kubectl rollout status` returns a zero exit code.
```shell
$ kubectl rollout status deploy/nginx-deployment
Waiting for rollout to finish: 2 of 3 updated replicas are available...
deployment "nginx" successfully rolled out
$ echo $?
0

### Failed Deployment
Your Deployment may get stuck trying to deploy its newest ReplicaSet without ever completing. This can occur
due to some of the following factors:
* Insufficient quota
* Readiness probe failures
* Image pull errors
* Insufficient permissions
* Limit ranges
* Application runtime misconfiguration
One way you can detect this condition is to specify a deadline parameter in your Deployment spec:
([`spec.progressDeadlineSeconds`](#progress-deadline-seconds)). `spec.progressDeadlineSeconds` denotes the
number of seconds the Deployment controller waits before indicating (in the Deployment status) that the
Deployment progress has stalled.
The following `kubectl` command sets the spec with `progressDeadlineSeconds` to make the controller report
lack of progress for a Deployment after 10 minutes:
```shell
$ kubectl patch deployment/nginx-deployment -p '{"spec":{"progressDeadlineSeconds":600}}'
"nginx-deployment" patched
```
Once the deadline has been exceeded, the Deployment controller adds a DeploymentCondition with the following
attributes to the Deployment's `status.conditions`:
* Type=Progressing
* Status=False
* Reason=ProgressDeadlineExceeded
See the [Kubernetes API conventions](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#typical-status-properties) for more information on status conditions.
**Note:** Kubernetes will take no action on a stalled Deployment other than to report a status condition with
`Reason=ProgressDeadlineExceeded`. Higher level orchestrators can take advantage of it and act accordingly, for
example, rollback the Deployment to its previous version.
{: .note}
**Note:** If you pause a Deployment, Kubernetes does not check progress against your specified deadline. You can
safely pause a Deployment in the middle of a rollout and resume without triggering the condition for exceeding the
deadline.
{: .note}
You may experience transient errors with your Deployments, either due to a low timeout that you have set or
due to any other kind of error that can be treated as transient. For example, let's suppose you have
insufficient quota. If you describe the Deployment you will notice the following section:
```shell
$ kubectl describe deployment nginx-deployment
<...>
Conditions:
Type Status Reason
---- ------ ------
Available True MinimumReplicasAvailable
Progressing True ReplicaSetUpdated
ReplicaFailure True FailedCreate
<...>
```
If you run `kubectl get deployment nginx-deployment -o yaml`, the Deployement status might look like this:
```
status:
availableReplicas: 2
conditions:
- lastTransitionTime: 2016-10-04T12:25:39Z
lastUpdateTime: 2016-10-04T12:25:39Z
message: Replica set "nginx-deployment-4262182780" is progressing.
reason: ReplicaSetUpdated
status: "True"
type: Progressing
- lastTransitionTime: 2016-10-04T12:25:42Z
lastUpdateTime: 2016-10-04T12:25:42Z
message: Deployment has minimum availability.
reason: MinimumReplicasAvailable
status: "True"
type: Available
- lastTransitionTime: 2016-10-04T12:25:39Z
lastUpdateTime: 2016-10-04T12:25:39Z
message: 'Error creating: pods "nginx-deployment-4262182780-" is forbidden: exceeded quota:
object-counts, requested: pods=1, used: pods=3, limited: pods=2'
reason: FailedCreate
status: "True"
type: ReplicaFailure
observedGeneration: 3
replicas: 2
unavailableReplicas: 2
```
Eventually, once the Deployment progress deadline is exceeded, Kubernetes updates the status and the
reason for the Progressing condition:
```
Conditions:
Type Status Reason
---- ------ ------
Available True MinimumReplicasAvailable
Progressing False ProgressDeadlineExceeded
ReplicaFailure True FailedCreate
```
You can address an issue of insufficient quota by scaling down your Deployment, by scaling down other
controllers you may be running, or by increasing quota in your namespace. If you satisfy the quota
conditions and the Deployment controller then completes the Deployment rollout, you'll see the
Deployment's status update with a successful condition (`Status=True` and `Reason=NewReplicaSetAvailable`).
```
Conditions:
Type Status Reason
---- ------ ------
Available True MinimumReplicasAvailable
Progressing True NewReplicaSetAvailable
```
`Type=Available` with `Status=True` means that your Deployment has minimum availability. Minimum availability is dictated
by the parameters specified in the deployment strategy. `Type=Progressing` with `Status=True` means that your Deployment
is either in the middle of a rollout and it is progressing or that it has successfully completed its progress and the minimum
required new replicas are available (see the Reason of the condition for the particulars - in our case
`Reason=NewReplicaSetAvailable` means that the Deployment is complete).
You can check if a Deployment has failed to progress by using `kubectl rollout status`. `kubectl rollout status`
returns a non-zero exit code if the Deployment has exceeded the progression deadline.
```shell
$ kubectl rollout status deploy/nginx-deployment
Waiting for rollout to finish: 2 out of 3 new replicas have been updated...
error: deployment "nginx" exceeded its progress deadline
$ echo $?
1
```
### Operating on a failed deployment
All actions that apply to a complete Deployment also apply to a failed Deployment. You can scale it up/down, roll back
to a previous revision, or even pause it if you need to apply multiple tweaks in the Deployment pod template.
## Clean up Policy
You can set `.spec.revisionHistoryLimit` field in a Deployment to specify how many old ReplicaSets for
this Deployment you want to retain. The rest will be garbage-collected in the background. By default,
all revision history will be kept. In a future version, it will default to switch to 2.
**Note:** Explicitly setting this field to 0, will result in cleaning up all the history of your Deployment
thus that Deployment will not be able to roll back.
{: .note}
## Use Cases
### Canary Deployment
If you want to roll out releases to a subset of users or servers using the Deployment, you
can create multiple Deployments, one for each release, following the canary pattern described in
[managing resources](/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/manage-deployment/#canary-deployments).
## Writing a Deployment Spec
As with all other Kubernetes configs, a Deployment needs `apiVersion`, `kind`, and `metadata` fields.
For general information about working with config files, see [deploying applications](/docs/tutorials/stateless-application/run-stateless-application-deployment/),
configuring containers, and [using kubectl to manage resources](/docs/tutorials/object-management-kubectl/object-management/) documents.
A Deployment also needs a [`.spec` section](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#spec-and-status).
### Pod Template
The `.spec.template` is the only required field of the `.spec`.
The `.spec.template` is a [pod template](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-overview/#pod-templates). It has exactly the same schema as a [Pod](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod/), except it is nested and does not have an
`apiVersion` or `kind`.
In addition to required fields for a Pod, a pod template in a Deployment must specify appropriate
labels and an appropriate restart policy. For labels, make sure not to overlap with other controllers. See [selector](#selector)).
Only a [`.spec.template.spec.restartPolicy`](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/) equal to `Always` is
allowed, which is the default if not specified.
### Replicas
`.spec.replicas` is an optional field that specifies the number of desired Pods. It defaults to 1.
### Selector
`.spec.selector` is an optional field that specifies a [label selector](/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/)
for the Pods targeted by this deployment.
If specified, `.spec.selector` must match `.spec.template.metadata.labels`, or it will be rejected by
the API. If `.spec.selector` is unspecified, `.spec.selector.matchLabels` defaults to
`.spec.template.metadata.labels`.
A Deployment may terminate Pods whose labels match the selector if their template is different
from `.spec.template` or if the total number of such Pods exceeds `.spec.replicas`. It brings up new
Pods with `.spec.template` if the number of Pods is less than the desired number.
**Note:** You should not create other pods whose labels match this selector, either directly, by creating
another Deployment, or by creating another controller such as a ReplicaSet or a ReplicationController. If you
do so, the first Deployment thinks that it created these other pods. Kubernetes does not stop you from doing this.
{: .note}
If you have multiple controllers that have overlapping selectors, the controllers will fight with each
other and won't behave correctly.
### Strategy
`.spec.strategy` specifies the strategy used to replace old Pods by new ones.
`.spec.strategy.type` can be "Recreate" or "RollingUpdate". "RollingUpdate" is
the default value.
#### Recreate Deployment
All existing Pods are killed before new ones are created when `.spec.strategy.type==Recreate`.
#### Rolling Update Deployment
The Deployment updates Pods in a [rolling update](/docs/tasks/run-application/rolling-update-replication-controller/)
fashion when `.spec.strategy.type==RollingUpdate`. You can specify `maxUnavailable` and `maxSurge` to control
the rolling update process.
##### Max Unavailable
`.spec.strategy.rollingUpdate.maxUnavailable` is an optional field that specifies the maximum number
of Pods that can be unavailable during the update process. The value can be an absolute number (for example, 5)
or a percentage of desired Pods (for example, 10%). The absolute number is calculated from percentage by
rounding down. The value cannot be 0 if `.spec.strategy.rollingUpdate.maxSurge` is 0. The default value is 25%.
For example, when this value is set to 30%, the old ReplicaSet can be scaled down to 70% of desired
Pods immediately when the rolling update starts. Once new Pods are ready, old ReplicaSet can be scaled
down further, followed by scaling up the new ReplicaSet, ensuring that the total number of Pods available
at all times during the update is at least 70% of the desired Pods.
##### Max Surge
`.spec.strategy.rollingUpdate.maxSurge` is an optional field that specifies the maximum number of Pods
that can be created over the desired number of Pods. The value can be an absolute number (for example, 5) or a
percentage of desired Pods (for example, 10%). The value cannot be 0 if `MaxUnavailable` is 0. The absolute number
is calculated from the percentage by rounding up. The default value is 25%.
For example, when this value is set to 30%, the new ReplicaSet can be scaled up immediately when the
rolling update starts, such that the total number of old and new Pods does not exceed 130% of desired
Pods. Once old Pods have been killed, the new ReplicaSet can be scaled up further, ensuring that the
total number of Pods running at any time during the update is at most 130% of desired Pods.
### Progress Deadline Seconds
`.spec.progressDeadlineSeconds` is an optional field that specifies the number of seconds you want
to wait for your Deployment to progress before the system reports back that the Deployment has
[failed progressing](#failed-deployment) - surfaced as a condition with `Type=Progressing`, `Status=False`.
and `Reason=ProgressDeadlineExceeded` in the status of the resource. The deployment controller will keep
retrying the Deployment. In the future, once automatic rollback will be implemented, the deployment
controller will roll back a Deployment as soon as it observes such a condition.
If specified, this field needs to be greater than `.spec.minReadySeconds`.
### Min Ready Seconds
`.spec.minReadySeconds` is an optional field that specifies the minimum number of seconds for which a newly
created Pod should be ready without any of its containers crashing, for it to be considered available.
This defaults to 0 (the Pod will be considered available as soon as it is ready). To learn more about when
a Pod is considered ready, see [Container Probes](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/#container-probes).
### Rollback To
`.spec.rollbackTo` is an optional field with the configuration the Deployment
should roll back to. Setting this field triggers a rollback, and this field will
be cleared by the server after a rollback is done.
Because this field will be cleared by the server, it should not be used
declaratively. For example, you should not perform `kubectl apply` with a
manifest with `.spec.rollbackTo` field set.
#### Revision
`.spec.rollbackTo.revision` is an optional field specifying the revision to roll
back to. Setting to 0 means rolling back to the last revision in history;
otherwise, means rolling back to the specified revision. This defaults to 0 when
[`spec.rollbackTo`](#rollback-to) is set.
### Revision History Limit
A Deployment's revision history is stored in the replica sets it controls.
`.spec.revisionHistoryLimit` is an optional field that specifies the number of old ReplicaSets to retain
to allow rollback. Its ideal value depends on the frequency and stability of new Deployments. All old
ReplicaSets will be kept by default, consuming resources in `etcd` and crowding the output of `kubectl get rs`,
if this field is not set. The configuration of each Deployment revision is stored in its ReplicaSets;
therefore, once an old ReplicaSet is deleted, you lose the ability to rollback to that revision of Deployment.
More specifically, setting this field to zero means that all old ReplicaSets with 0 replica will be cleaned up.
In this case, a new Deployment rollout cannot be undone, since its revision history is cleaned up.
### Paused
`.spec.paused` is an optional boolean field for pausing and resuming a Deployment. The only difference between
a paused Deployment and one that is not paused, is that any changes into the PodTemplateSpec of the paused
Deployment will not trigger new rollouts as long as it is paused. A Deployment is not paused by default when
it is created.
## Alternative to Deployments
### kubectl rolling update
[Kubectl rolling update](/docs/user-guide/kubectl/{{page.version}}/#rolling-update) updates Pods and ReplicationControllers
in a similar fashion. But Deployments are recommended, since they are declarative, server side, and have
additional features, such as rolling back to any previous revision even after the rolling update is done.

title: StatefulSets
---
{% capture overview %}
**StatefulSets are a beta feature in 1.7. This feature replaces the
PetSets feature from 1.4. Users of PetSets are referred to the 1.5
[Upgrade Guide](/docs/tasks/manage-stateful-set/upgrade-pet-set-to-stateful-set/)
for further information on how to upgrade existing PetSets to StatefulSets.**
{% include templates/glossary/snippet.md term="statefulset" length="long" %}
{% endcapture %}
{% capture body %}
## Using StatefulSets
StatefulSets are valuable for applications that require one or more of the
following.
* Stable, unique network identifiers.
* Stable, persistent storage.
* Ordered, graceful deployment and scaling.
* Ordered, graceful deletion and termination.
* Ordered, automated rolling updates.
In the above, stable is synonymous with persistence across Pod (re)scheduling.
If an application doesn't require any stable identifiers or ordered deployment,
deletion, or scaling, you should deploy your application with a controller that
provides a set of stateless replicas. Controllers such as
[Deployment](/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) or
[ReplicaSet](/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/replicaset/) may be better suited to your stateless needs.
## Limitations
* StatefulSet is a beta resource, not available in any Kubernetes release prior to 1.5.
* As with all alpha/beta resources, you can disable StatefulSet through the `--runtime-config` option passed to the apiserver.
* The storage for a given Pod must either be provisioned by a [PersistentVolume Provisioner](http://releases.k8s.io/{{page.githubbranch}}/examples/persistent-volume-provisioning/README.md) based on the requested `storage class`, or pre-provisioned by an admin.
* Deleting and/or scaling a StatefulSet down will *not* delete the volumes associated with the StatefulSet. This is done to ensure data safety, which is generally more valuable than an automatic purge of all related StatefulSet resources.
* StatefulSets currently require a [Headless Service](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#headless-services) to be responsible for the network identity of the Pods. You are responsible for creating this Service.
## Components
The example below demonstrates the components of a StatefulSet.
* A Headless Service, named nginx, is used to control the network domain.
* The StatefulSet, named web, has a Spec that indicates that 3 replicas of the nginx container will be launched in unique Pods.
* The volumeClaimTemplates will provide stable storage using [PersistentVolumes](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/) provisioned by a
PersistentVolume Provisioner.

```
## Pod Identity
StatefulSet Pods have a unique identity that is comprised of an ordinal, a
stable network identity, and stable storage. The identity sticks to the Pod,
regardless of which node it's (re)scheduled on.
### Ordinal Index
For a StatefulSet with N replicas, each Pod in the StatefulSet will be
assigned an integer ordinal, in the range [0,N), that is unique over the Set.
### Stable Network ID
Each Pod in a StatefulSet derives its hostname from the name of the StatefulSet
and the ordinal of the Pod. The pattern for the constructed hostname
is `$(statefulset name)-$(ordinal)`. The example above will create three Pods
named `web-0,web-1,web-2`.
A StatefulSet can use a [Headless Service](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#headless-services)
to control the domain of its Pods. The domain managed by this Service takes the form:
`$(service name).$(namespace).svc.cluster.local`, where "cluster.local"
is the [cluster domain](http://releases.k8s.io/{{page.githubbranch}}/cluster/addons/dns/README.md).
As each Pod is created, it gets a matching DNS subdomain, taking the form:
`$(podname).$(governing service domain)`, where the governing service is defined
by the `serviceName` field on the StatefulSet.
Here are some examples of choices for Cluster Domain, Service name,
StatefulSet name, and how that affects the DNS names for the StatefulSet's Pods.
Cluster Domain | Service (ns/name) | StatefulSet (ns/name) | StatefulSet Domain | Pod DNS | Pod Hostname |
-------------- | ----------------- | ----------------- | -------------- | ------- | ------------ |
cluster.local | default/nginx | default/web | nginx.default.svc.cluster.local | web-{0..N-1}.nginx.default.svc.cluster.local | web-{0..N-1} |
cluster.local | foo/nginx | foo/web | nginx.foo.svc.cluster.local | web-{0..N-1}.nginx.foo.svc.cluster.local | web-{0..N-1} |
kube.local | foo/nginx | foo/web | nginx.foo.svc.kube.local | web-{0..N-1}.nginx.foo.svc.kube.local | web-{0..N-1} |
Note that Cluster Domain will be set to `cluster.local` unless
[otherwise configured](http://releases.k8s.io/{{page.githubbranch}}/cluster/addons/dns/README.md).
### Stable Storage
Kubernetes creates one [PersistentVolume](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/) for each
VolumeClaimTemplate. In the nginx example above, each Pod will receive a single PersistentVolume
with a StorageClass of `my-storage-class` and 1 Gib of provisioned storage. If no StorageClass
is specified, then the default StorageClass will be used. When a Pod is (re)scheduled
onto a node, its `volumeMounts` mount the PersistentVolumes associated with its
PersistentVolume Claims. Note that, the PersistentVolumes associated with the
Pods' PersistentVolume Claims are not deleted when the Pods, or StatefulSet are deleted.
This must be done manually.
## Deployment and Scaling Guarantees
* For a StatefulSet with N replicas, when Pods are being deployed, they are created sequentially, in order from {0..N-1}.
* When Pods are being deleted, they are terminated in reverse order, from {N-1..0}.
* Before a scaling operation is applied to a Pod, all of its predecessors must be Running and Ready.
* Before a Pod is terminated, all of its successors must be completely shutdown.
The StatefulSet should not specify a `pod.Spec.TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` of 0. This practice is unsafe and strongly discouraged. For further explanation, please refer to [force deleting StatefulSet Pods](/docs/tasks/run-application/force-delete-stateful-set-pod/).
When the nginx example above is created, three Pods will be deployed in the order
web-0, web-1, web-2. web-1 will not be deployed before web-0 is
[Running and Ready](/docs/user-guide/pod-states), and web-2 will not be deployed until
web-1 is Running and Ready. If web-0 should fail, after web-1 is Running and Ready, but before
web-2 is launched, web-2 will not be launched until web-0 is successfully relaunched and
becomes Running and Ready.
If a user were to scale the deployed example by patching the StatefulSet such that
`replicas=1`, web-2 would be terminated first. web-1 would not be terminated until web-2
is fully shutdown and deleted. If web-0 were to fail after web-2 has been terminated and
is completely shutdown, but prior to web-1's termination, web-1 would not be terminated
until web-0 is Running and Ready.
### Pod Management Policies
In Kubernetes 1.7 and later, StatefulSet allows you to relax its ordering guarantees while
preserving its uniqueness and identity guarantees via its `.spec.podManagementPolicy` field.
#### OrderedReady Pod Management
`OrderedReady` pod management is the default for StatefulSets. It implements the behavior
described [above](#deployment-and-scaling-guarantees).
#### Parallel Pod Management
`Parallel` pod management tells the StatefulSet controller to launch or
terminate all Pods in parallel, and to not wait for Pods to become Running
and Ready or completely terminated prior to launching or terminating another
Pod.
## Update Strategies
In Kubernetes 1.7 and later, StatefulSet's `.spec.updateStrategy` field allows you to configure
and disable automated rolling updates for containers, labels, resource request/limits, and
annotations for the Pods in a StatefulSet.
### On Delete
The `OnDelete` update strategy implements the legacy (1.6 and prior) behavior. It is the default
strategy when `spec.updateStrategy` is left unspecified. When a StatefulSet's
`.spec.updateStrategy.type` is set to `OnDelete`, the StatefulSet controller will not automatically
update the Pods in a StatefulSet. Users must manually delete Pods to cause the controller to
create new Pods that reflect modifications made to a StatefulSet's `.spec.template`.
### Rolling Updates
The `RollingUpdate` update strategy implements automated, rolling update for the Pods in a
StatefulSet. When a StatefulSet's `.spec.updateStrategy.type` is set to `RollingUpdate`, the
StatefulSet controller will delete and recreate each Pod in the StatefulSet. It will proceed
in the same order as Pod termination (from the largest ordinal to the smallest), updating
each Pod one at a time. It will wait until an updated Pod is Running and Ready prior to
updating its predecessor.
#### Partitions
The `RollingUpdate` update strategy can be partitioned, by specifying a
`.spec.updateStrategy.rollingUpdate.partition`. If a partition is specified, all Pods with an
ordinal that is greater than or equal to the partition will be updated when the StatefulSet's
`.spec.template` is updated. All Pods with an ordinal that is less than the partition will not
be updated, and, even if they are deleted, they will be recreated at the previous version. If a
StatefulSet's `.spec.updateStrategy.rollingUpdate.partition` is greater than its `.spec.replicas`,
updates to its `.spec.template` will not be propagated to its Pods.
In most cases you will not need to use a partition, but they are useful if you want to stage an
update, roll out a canary, or perform a phased roll out.
