Kubectl Rollout Restart for Statefulset – Kubernetes
Stateful applications are managed via Kubernetes StatefulSets, a particular workload API object. They offer guarantees concerning the ordering and uniqueness of pods, in contrast to deployments. Applications like databases and distributed systems, which need trustworthy, unique network IDs and long-term storage, rely upon stateful sets.
They guarantee that every pod receives a distinct, accurate identification and storage, maintaining consistency even in the event of restarts. Due to this, StatefulSets are essential for applications that need consistent state and data integrity. All in all, they make it easier to manage stateful applications in a dynamic container environment like Kubernetes.
