Create StatefulSet

Introduction

StatefulSet consists of serviceName, replicas, template and volumeClaimTemplates. serviceName is “mysql”, headless service we created in previous section, replicas is 3, the desired number of pod, template is the configuration of pod, volumeClaimTemplates is to claim volume for pod based on storageClassName, gp2 that we created in “Define Storageclass” section. Percona Xtrabackup is in template to clone source MySQL server to its slaves.

Create StatefulSet

Copy/Paste the following commands into your Cloud9 Terminal.

cd ~/environment/templates
wget https://eksworkshop.com/beginner/170_statefulset/statefulset.files/mysql-statefulset.yml

Create statefulset “mysql” by following command.

kubectl create -f ~/environment/templates/mysql-statefulset.yml

Watch StatefulSet

Watch the status of statefulset.

kubectl get -w statefulset

It will take few minutes for pods to initialize and have statefulset created. DESIRED is the replicas number you define at StatefulSet. 


NAME      DESIRED   CURRENT   AGE
mysql     3         1         8s
mysql     3         2         59s
mysql     3         3         2m
mysql     3         3         3m
Open another Cloud9 Terminal and watch the progress of pods creation using the following command.

kubectl get pods -l app=mysql --watch

You can see ordered, graceful deployment with a stable, unique name for each pod.

Check the dynamically created PVC by following command.

kubectl get pvc -l app=mysql

You can see data-mysql-0,1,2 are created by STORAGECLASS mysql-gp2.

(Optional) Check 10Gi 3 EBS volumes are created across availability zones at your AWS console.
