<p>I'm new to kubernetes.</p>
<p>I'm trying to follow the examples in the book &quot;Kubernetes in Action&quot; which was written 2-3 yeas back so I'm aware that the info in it is outdated now.</p>
<p>When I run this command, I get the following output.</p>
<pre><code>$ kubectl run kubia --image=myrepo/kubia --port=8080 --generator=run/v1
Flag --generator has been deprecated, has no effect and will be removed in the future.
pod/kubia created
</code></pre>
<p>The pod runs, but there supposedly should be a replication controller created, but there's not.</p>
<pre><code>$ kubectl get pods
NAME    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
kubia   1/1     Running   0          3m27s
$ kubectl get rc
No resources found in default namespace.
</code></pre>
<p>All the subsequent commands depend on the replication controller being created, like the following</p>
<pre><code>$ kubectl scale rc kubia --replicas=3
</code></pre>
<p>So how can I create a replication controller and have it control the pod? Or what is the alternative to creating a replication controller so I can scale the pod?</p>
<p>I'm aware that I can write configuration files instead of using the CLI, but I'm following the book for now.</p>

<p>Per Turing85's comment, here's what I had to do. I aliased kubectl to k.</p>
<pre><code>$ k create deploy kubia-deploy --image=myrepo/kubia
deployment.apps/kubia-deploy created

$ k get deploy
NAME           READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
kubia-deploy   1/1     1            1           8s

$ k scale deploy kubia-deploy --replicas=3
deployment.apps/kubia-deploy scaled

$ k get po
NAME                            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
kubia-deploy-68675b44f6-52rbb   1/1     Running   0          3m45s
kubia-deploy-68675b44f6-ddt8g   1/1     Running   0          3m45s
kubia-deploy-68675b44f6-np624   1/1     Running   0          4m42s

$ k expose deploy kubia-deploy --type=LoadBalancer --name kubia-http --port=8080
service/kubia-http exposed
