Which object helps maintain copies of a vSphere pod?

A ReplicaSet declares how the functionality of a pod is made scalable and resilient through redundancy. The ReplicaSet ensures that a specified number of pods is kept running. Example: Deploy a ReplicaSet. • The ReplicaSet name is nginx-replica-demo. • Two replicas are expected to be running. • The ReplicaSet applies to pods with label nginx.
