+
+1. Run Pod with a web service (e.g. httpd)
+2. Verify the web service is running with the `ps` command
+3. Check how many restarts the pod has performed
+4. Kill the web service process
+5. Check how many restarts the pod has performed
+6. Verify again the web service is running

+## ReplicaSet 103
+
+#### Objective
+
+Learn how labels used by ReplicaSets
+
+#### Instructions
+
+1. Create a ReplicaSet with 2 replicas. Make sure the label used for the selector and in the Pods is "type=web"
+2. Verify a ReplicaSet was created and there are 2 replicas
+3. List the Pods running
+4. Remove the label (type=web) from one of the Pods created by the ReplicaSet
+5. List the Pods running. Are there more Pods running after removing the label? Why?
+6. Verify the ReplicaSet indeed created a new Pod

+## "Killing" Containers - Solution
+
+1. Run Pod with a web service (e.g. httpd) - `kubectl run web --image registry.redhat.io/rhscl/httpd-24-rhel7`
+2. Verify the web service is running with the `ps` command - `kubectl exec web -- ps`
+3. Check how many restarts the pod has performed - `kubectl get po web`
+4. Kill the web service process -`kubectl exec web -- kill 1`
+5. Check how many restarts the pod has performed - `kubectl get po web`
+6. Verify again the web service is running - `kubectl exec web -- ps`
+
+## After you complete the exercise
+
+* Why did the "RESTARTS" count raised? - `because we killed the process and Kubernetes identified the container isn't running proprely so it performed restart to the Pod`

+The same number of Pods. Since we defined 2 replicas, the ReplicaSet will make sure to create another Pod that will replace the one you've deleted.

+kubectl label pod <POD_NAME> type-
+```
+
+5. List the Pods running. Are there more Pods running after removing the label? Why?
+
+```
+Yes, there is an additional Pod running because once the label (used as a matching selector) was removed, the Pod became independant meaning, it's not controlled by the ReplicaSet anymore and the ReplicaSet was missing replicas based on its definition so, it created a new Pod.
+```

+6. Verify the ReplicaSet indeed created a new Pod

+kubectl describe rs web
