ReplicationController(也简称为 rc)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;而异常多出来的容器也会自动回收。ReplicationController 的典型应用场景包括确保健康 Pod 的数量、弹性伸缩、滚动升级以及应用多版本发布跟踪等。
在新版本的 Kubernetes 中建议使用 ReplicaSet(也简称为 rs)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(ReplicationController 仅支持等式)。
虽然也 ReplicaSet 可以独立使用,但建议使用 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),并且还支持版本记录、回滚、暂停升级等高级特性。Deployment 的详细介绍和使用方法见 这里。
