ReplicaSet is the next-generation Replication Controller.
A ReplicaSet (aims to) maintain a set of replica Pods running at any given time.

ReplicaSet, like ReplicationController, ensures that a specified number of pods replicas are running at one time. ReplicaSet supports the new set-based selector requirements as described in the labels user guide, whereas a Replication Controller only supports equality-based selector requirements.
Workload objects such as {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="deployment" >}} make use of ReplicaSets
to ensure that the configured number of {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="pod" text="Pods" >}} are
running in your cluster, based on the spec of that ReplicaSet.
