Stateful containers using StatefulSets

StatefulSet manages the deployment and scaling of a set of Pods, and provides guarantees about the ordering and uniqueness of these Pods, suitable for applications that require one or more of the following.

  • Stable, unique network identifiers
  • Stable, persistent storage
  • Ordered, graceful deployment and scaling
  • Ordered, automated rolling updates

In this Chapter, we will review how to deploy a MySQL database using StatefulSet and Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) as PersistentVolume. The example is a MySQL single leader topology with a follower running asynchronous replication.
