How deeply does Google Anthos in Action cover StatefulSet?

Explains the StatefulSet’s YAML role and surrounding storage resources but does not detail identity or update mechanics.

StatefulSet

As explained in Google Anthos in Action

A Kubernetes StatefulSet is a resource that manages replicated pods with stable identities and persistent storage associations.

A StatefulSet manages replicated Pods for stateful applications, preserving stable Pod identities and associating each Pod with persistent storage. Its deployment specification is organized alongside Services, PersistentVolumes, and PersistentVolumeClaims. section 15.4.3

A StatefulSet deployment commonly coordinates:

Pods deployed from an image generated by a VM migration. section 15.4.3
PersistentVolumes that provide durable storage. section 15.4.3
PersistentVolumeClaims that request storage size and access mode. section 15.4.3
A Service that provides network access, optionally through a LoadBalancer. section 15.4.3

Migrating a stateful application

A Migrate for Anthos deployment_spec.yaml can define a StatefulSet for a migrated VM image, persistent storage resources, a Service, and logging configuration. Applying the generated specification deploys the application into the cluster. section 15.4.3
