# statefulset

The create statefulset command deploys a new stateful application using a Kubernetes StatefulSet. This command allows defining StatefulSet metadata, container specifications, replica count, persistent volume claims, and update strategies.

## Usage

```
cldkctl create statefulset [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Prepare a YAML file for the Service that the StatefulSet will use. For guidance on creating the Service, refer to the create service section.
2. Prepare a YAML file that defines the StatefulSet configuration.
3. Save this file in the same directory where you will run the `cldkctl` command.
4. Use the `--file` flag to point to the YAML file.
5. (Optional) To specify a namespace or project, add the `--default-namespace` or `--project` flag.
6. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
./cldkctl create statefulset --file [statefulset file name]
```

7. Replace `[statefulset file name]` with the path to your YAML configuration file.
8. Once completed successfully, a message **“✓ Statefulset created”** will appear in your terminal.
