[SOLVED] Can't delete strangely numbered pod or mysteriously created ReplicaSet

Can't delete strangely numbered pod or mysteriously created ReplicaSet

I am having this issue except I have not created a ReplicaSet as suggested by Tim Hockin.

Somehow a ReplicaSet was created with the same properties as my ReplicationController. The only difference is the name. The Controller is named 'fp-frontend' and the Set is named 'fp-frontend-389969098'. The appended number suggests that it was automatically created.

Perhaps a race condition or something, who knows.... I would however like to delete it and the pods it spawns.

So I try to delete it:

$kubectl delete rs fp-frontend-389969098
replicaset "fp-frontend-389969098" deleted

Command says it was deleted. But...

$kubectl get rs
NAME                    DESIRED   CURRENT   AGE
fp-frontend-389969098   1         1         4s

Any suggestions? I think I am going to delete and recreate the cluster?

I am using google container engine and kubernetes is up to date.

Solution

You've probably created a deployment that's recreating the replica set for you. Try running kubectl get deployments and deleting the deployment from the output of that command.
