Verifying the Successful Deployment Restart
After restarting a deployment using the kubectl rollout restart
command, it's important to verify that the deployment was successfully restarted and that your application is functioning as expected.
Checking the Rollout Status
You can use the kubectl rollout status
command to check the status of the deployment rollout:
kubectl rollout status deployment <deployment-name>
This command will display the current status of the rollout, including the number of replicas that have been updated, the number of replicas that are available, and any errors or warnings that may have occurred.
Inspecting the Deployment Details
You can also use the kubectl describe deployment
command to get more detailed information about the deployment:
kubectl describe deployment <deployment-name>
This command will provide information about the deployment, including the container images being used, the resource limits and requests, and the current state of the pods.
Verifying Application Functionality
Finally, you should verify that your application is functioning correctly after the deployment restart. This may involve testing the application's functionality, checking the logs for any errors or warnings, and monitoring the application's performance and resource usage.
You can use the following commands to interact with your application and verify its functionality:
## Get a list of the pods in the deployment
kubectl get pods -l app=<app-name>
## View the logs for a specific pod
kubectl logs <pod-name>
## Access the application through a service or ingress
kubectl get service <service-name>
By following these steps, you can ensure that the deployment restart was successful and that your application is running as expected.
