Kubernetes StatefulSet simply explained | Deployment vs StatefulSet

StatefulSet Kubernetes | Understand what StatefulSet in Kubernetes is and how it works

In this Kubernetes StatefulSet tutorial, I explain the difference between Deployment and StatefulSet.
I also show you how to deploy databases using StatefulSet component.

Kubernetes StatefulSets are used to deploy specifically stateful applications. In order to understand how StatefulSet works, you first need to understand how database clusters work, as well concepts of Kubernets StatefulSet vs Deployment.

While StatefulSet is used for stateful applications, Deployment component is used to deploy stateless applications. So the question is: what is the difference between Deployment and StatefulSet components?

Pods deployed by Deployment are identical and interchangeable, created in random order with random hashes in their Pod names.
In contrast to that, the Pods deployed by StatefulSet component are NOT identical. They each have their own sticky identity, which they keep between restarts and each can be addressed individually. Thus, they can't be created or deleted at the same time or in any order.

How these identities are created and why its so important, I explain in detail in this video.

Jeez, as part of a dev team who’s currently struggling with devops issues cause our affiliate company that’s supposed to host our apps are completely useless and unresponsive of our requests, your vids really make my life better ! Thanks !

[stephanelenglet]

Thank you so much Nana, you're videos are excellent ! All your series on Kubernetes are like this ! You succeed to explain main concepts in a easy way and it's not so easy to do ! 👏👏👏

[rahulek]

This whole series covering docker and kubernetes is excellent, precise and easy to understand. Congratulations and thanks for your efforts. You have great teaching abilities. I specifically liked videos that cover practical aspects - for example, application deployment using k8s and docker-compose etc. Keep up your excellent work.

[ramm]

Perfectly explained high level concepts . Can completely now relate to all the connected components and able to visualise entire structure .
