kubectl scale命令用于程序在负载加重或缩小时进行pod扩容或缩小，我们通过一些实际例子来观察scale命令到底能达到什么效果。

命令行创建一个deployment：

kubectl run jerry-nginx --image=nginx:1.12.2

kubectl get deploy查看刚刚创建的deployment：

自动被deployment创建的pod：

kubectl get pod:

使用下列命令查看生成的deployment明细：

kubectl get deployment jerry-nginx -o yaml

Normal ScalingReplicaSet 9m41s deployment-controller Scaled up replica set jerry-nginx-69fd9f6c4 to 1

现在我们使用下面的命令对deployment进行水平扩展：

kubectl scale deployment jerry-nginx --replicas=3

kubectl get pods -l run=jerry-nginx

下图这个Age为15分钟之前的是第一次创建deployment时生成的，其他两个Age为1分钟之前的是执行了scale命令后自动创建的。

选中一个才创建的pod，查看其事件记录：

kubectl describe pod jerry-nginx-69fd9f6c4-8dpvb

kubectl get replicaset

得到自动创建的replication set：

desired = 3意思就是我们水平扩展时指定的参数3.

即使手动删除一个pod实例，replication set又会很快自动创建一个新的：
