Kubernetes - Deployment/replicaSet

Question

I am learning concepts in kubernetes, when i am going through deployments and replicaset concepts i got one doubt that can replicasets and deployment be independent to each other

Answer 1

You can create a ReplicaSet without creating a Deployment , but nowadays it does not make much sense. You will almost always use only Deployment for deploying an application, and for every change, eg updating the image: , it will manage the creation of a new ReplicaSet for you.

Answer 2

You can create ReplicaSet and ReplicationController also Deployment however nowadays all use Deployment which auto-create and manage ReplicaSet .

We can say Replicasset is updated version of the replication controller to understand easily.

You can deploy the same application using Replicaset & Deployment , however, with deployment it's easy to manage and update docker image.
