Deployment update strategy – recreate

Next, we are going to introduce the other update strategy, recreate, for Deployment. Although there is no subcommand or flag to create a recreate-strategy deployment, users could fulfill this creation by overriding the default element with the specified configuration:

// create a new Deployment, and override the update strategy.$ kubectl run recreate-nginx --image=nginx --port=80 --replicas=5 --overrides='{"apiVersion": "apps/v1", "spec": {"strategy": {"type": "Recreate"}}}'deployment.apps "recreate-nginx" created// verify our new Deployment$ kubectl describe deployment recreate-nginxName:               recreate-nginxNamespace:          defaultCreationTimestamp:  Sat, 05 May 2018 18:17:07 -0400Labels:             run=recreate-nginxAnnotations: ...
