Kubernetes ReplicaSet selector with matchExpressions

ReplicaSet is a tool to manage the pod replicas and update strategies, and it is more flexible than the replication controller. 

It provides set-based labels selection support instead of the equality-based labels (ReplicationController). 

With equality-based (a replication controller) labels support, you can match labels only with an "is equal" or "is not equal" assertion. 

Match a group of pods that has a label zone with the value prod or test, but not both of them

With a set-based labels selection, you can express more powerful assertions, like in, not in, or exists. 

Match all the pods with the prod label in prod and test, using the matchExpressions property of the selector

Deploy ASP.NET CORE application with the Kubernetes Deployments

Update the application with a rolling update strategy that releases new pods more gradually, one pod at a time. 

Roll back the application to a specific version of the deploy history using the deployment. 

Run the command without --restart=Never (Deploy ASP.NET Core Application images in Kubernetes (K8s) & POD). Command to create a simple deployment 

 kubectl run frontendmvcv1 --image=makader/myapp:frontendmvc-v1 --port 80 

kubectl get deployment frontendmvcv1

Deploy ASP.NET Core Application different image verison in Kubernetes

Deploying the pods (individually or with a replication controller), using the same labels, except for the version, for which you use the value v2. 

Modified the code (frontendmvc).

Build the image, re name the image tag version 2 & publish the image to Docker Hub

docker build -t frontendmvc .
docker tag frontendmvc makader/myapp:frontendmvc-v2
docker push makader/myapp:frontendmvc-v2

Kubernetes ReplicationController

Create multiple instances of the pod using a ReplicationController, which is a master controller that replicates the specified pods, balances them on all the nodes, and reacts if some pod dies to restore the desired state.
