ReplicaSet 和 ReplicationController 是 Kubernetes 中用于管理应用程序副本的两种资源，它们有类似的功能，但 ReplicaSet 是 ReplicationController 的增强版本。

以下是它们的主要区别：

1. 功能的演进

• ReplicationController 是 Kubernetes 的早期版本中用来确保一定数量的 Pod 副本运行的控制器。

• ReplicaSet 是 ReplicationController 的增强版本，引入了更多的功能和灵活性，逐步取代了 ReplicationController。

2. 标签选择器

• ReplicationController 只支持基于 等式匹配 的标签选择器。例如：

  selector:
    app: myapp
  

• ReplicaSet 支持更复杂的 集合匹配，可以使用 in、notin 等操作符。例如：

  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: myapp
    matchExpressions:
    - key: environment
      operator: In
      values:
      - production
      - staging
  

3. 推荐使用

• Kubernetes 更推荐使用 ReplicaSet，因为它功能更强大，尤其是支持高级标签选择器。

• 不过，ReplicationController 仍然受支持，用于与旧版本的 Kubernetes 配置兼容。

4. 与 Deployment 的关系

• ReplicaSet 通常与 Deployment 一起使用，Deployment 会管理 ReplicaSet，从而实现滚动更新等功能。

• ReplicationController 已经逐渐被 Deployment 和 ReplicaSet 取代，功能上相对较弱。

示例对比

ReplicationController 配置示例：

 

apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
  name: myapp-rc
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    app: myapp
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: myapp
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: myapp-container
        image: nginx

ReplicaSet 配置示例：

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: ReplicaSet
metadata:
  name: myapp-rs
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: myapp
    matchExpressions:
    - key: environment
      operator: In
      values:
      - production
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: myapp
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: myapp-container
        image: nginx

 

 

Scale

总结

• 如果是新项目，直接使用 ReplicaSet 或 Deployment，避免使用 ReplicationController。

• 如果你的需求更复杂（比如基于集合匹配的调度策略），ReplicaSet 是更好的选择。
