I would like to perform rolling back a deployment in my environment.
Command:
kubectl rollout undo deployment/foo
Steps which are perform:
Is there a way to not perform last step - for example - developer would like to check why init command fail and debug.
I didn't find information about that in documentation.
Yes it is possible, before doing rollout, first you need to remove labels (corresponding to replica-set controlling that pod) from unhealthy pod. This way pod won't belong anymore to the deployment and even if you do rollout, it will still be there. Example:
$kubectl get deployment
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
sleeper 1/1 1 1 47h
$kubectl get pod --show-labels
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE LABELS
sleeper-d75b55fc9-87k5k 1/1 Running 0 5m46s pod-template-hash=d75b55fc9,run=sleeper
$kubectl label pod sleeper-d75b55fc9-87k5k pod-template-hash- run-
pod/sleeper-d75b55fc9-87k5k labeled
$kubectl get pod --show-labels
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE LABELS
sleeper-d75b55fc9-87k5k 1/1 Running 0 6m34s <none>
sleeper-d75b55fc9-swkj9 1/1 Running 0 3s pod-template-hash=d75b55fc9,run=sleeper
So what happens here, we have a pod sleeper-d75b55fc9-87k5k
which belongs to sleeper
deployment, we remove all labels from it, deployment detects that pod "has gone" so it creates a new one sleeper-d75b55fc9-swkj9
, but the old one is still there and ready for debugging. Only pod sleeper-d75b55fc9-swkj9
will be affected by rollout.
