The\nStatefulSet controller terminates each Pod, and waits for it to transition to Running and\nReady prior to updating the next Pod. Note that, even though the StatefulSet\ncontroller will not proceed to update the next Pod until its ordinal successor\nis Running and Ready, it will restore any Pod that fails during the update to\nthat Pod's existing version.\n\nPods that have already received the update will be restored to the updated version,\nand Pods that have not yet received the update will be restored to the previous\nversion. In this way, the controller attempts to continue to keep the application\nhealthy and the update consistent in the presence of intermittent failures.\n\nGet the Pods to view their container images:\n```\n\nfor p in 0 1 2; do kubectl get pod \"web-$p\" --template '{{range $i, $c := .spec.containers}}{{$c.image}}{{end}}'; echo; done\n\nregistry.k8s.io/nginx-slim:0.24 registry.k8s.io/nginx-slim:0.24 registry.k8s.io/nginx-slim:0.24\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
