+{% capture overview %}
+
+This page shows you how to run a single-instance stateful application
+in Kubernetes using a PersistentVolume and a Deployment. The
+application is MySQL.
+
+{% endcapture %}
+
+
+{% capture objectives %}
+
+* Create a PersistentVolume referencing a disk in your environment.
+* Create a MySQL Deployment.
+* Expose MySQL to other pods in the cluster at a known DNS name.
+
+{% endcapture %}
+
+
+{% capture prerequisites %}
+
+* {% include task-tutorial-prereqs.md %}
+
+* For data persistence we will create a Persistent Volume that
+  references a disk in your
+  environment. See
+  [here](/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/#types-of-persistent-volumes) for
+  the types of environments supported. This Tutorial will demonstrate
+  `GCEPersistentDisk` but any type will work. `GCEPersistentDisk`
+  volumes only work on Google Compute Engine.
+
+{% endcapture %}
+
+
+{% capture lessoncontent %}
+
+### Set up a disk in your environment
+
+You can use any type of persistent volume for your stateful app. See
+[Types of Persistent Volumes](/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/#types-of-persistent-volumes)
+for a list of supported environment disks. For Google Compute Engine, run:
+
+```
+gcloud compute disks create --size=20GB mysql-disk
+```
+
+Next create a PersistentVolume that points to the `mysql-disk`
+disk just created. Here is a configuration file for a PersistentVolume
+that points to the Compute Engine disk above:
+
+{% include code.html language="yaml" file="gce-volume.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/gce-volume.yaml" %}
+
+Notice that the `pdName: mysql-disk` line matches the name of the disk
+in the Compute Engine environment. See the
+[Persistent Volumes](/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/)
+for details on writing a PersistentVolume configuration file for other
+environments.
+
+Create the persistent volume:
+
+```
+kubectl create -f http://k8s.io/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/gce-volume.yaml
+```
+
+
+### Deploy MySQL
+
+You can run a stateful application by creating a Kubernetes Deployment
+and connecting it to an existing PersistentVolume using a
+PersistentVolumeClaim.  For example, this YAML file describes a
+Deployment that runs MySQL and references the PersistentVolumeClaim. The file
+defines a volume mount for /var/lib/mysql, and then creates a
+PersistentVolumeClaim that looks for a 20G volume. This claim is
+satisfied by any volume that meets the requirements, in this case, the
+volume created above.
+
+Note: The password is defined in the config yaml, and this is insecure. See
+[Kubernetes Secrets](/docs/user-guide/secrets/)
+for a secure solution.
+
+{% include code.html language="yaml" file="mysql-deployment.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/mysql-deployment.yaml" %}
+
+1. Deploy the contents of the YAML file:
+
+        kubectl create -f http://k8s.io/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/mysql-deployment.yaml
+
+1. Display information about the Deployment:
+
+        kubectl describe deployment mysql
+
+        Name:			mysql
+        Namespace:		default
+        CreationTimestamp:	Tue, 01 Nov 2016 11:18:45 -0700
+        Labels:			app=mysql
+        Selector:		app=mysql
+        Replicas:		1 updated | 1 total | 0 available | 1 unavailable
+        StrategyType:		Recreate
+        MinReadySeconds:	0
+        OldReplicaSets:		<none>
+        NewReplicaSet:		mysql-63082529 (1/1 replicas created)
+        Events:
+          FirstSeen	LastSeen	Count	From				SubobjectPath	Type		Reason			Message
+          ---------	--------	-----	----				-------------	--------	------			-------
+          33s		33s		1	{deployment-controller }			Normal		ScalingReplicaSet	Scaled up replica set mysql-63082529 to 1
+
+1. List the pods created by the Deployment:
+
+        kubectl get pods -l app=mysql
+
+        NAME                   READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+        mysql-63082529-2z3ki   1/1       Running   0          3m
+
+1. Inspect the Persistent Volume:
+
+        kubectl describe pv mysql-pv
+
+        Name:		mysql-pv
+        Labels:		<none>
+        Status:		Bound
+        Claim:		default/mysql-pv-claim
+        Reclaim Policy:	Retain
+        Access Modes:	RWO
+        Capacity:	20Gi
+        Message:	
+        Source:
+            Type:	GCEPersistentDisk (a Persistent Disk resource in Google Compute Engine)
+            PDName:	mysql-disk
+            FSType:	ext4
+            Partition:	0
+            ReadOnly:	false
+        No events.
+
+1. Inspect the PersistentVolumeClaim:
+
+        kubectl describe pvc mysql-pv-claim
+
+        Name:		mysql-pv-claim
+        Namespace:	default
+        Status:		Bound
+        Volume:		mysql-pv
+        Labels:		<none>
+        Capacity:	20Gi
+        Access Modes:	RWO
+        No events.
+
+### Accessing the MySQL instance
+
+The preceding YAML file creates a service that
+allows other Pods in the cluster to access the database. The Service option
+`clusterIP: None` lets the Service DNS name resolve directly to the
+Pod's IP address. This is optimal when you have only one Pod
+behind a Service and you don't intend to increase the number of Pods.
+
+Run a MySQL client to connect to the server:
+
+```
+kubectl run -it --rm --image=mysql:5.6 mysql-client -- mysql -h mysql -ppassword
+```
+
+This command creates a new Pod in the cluster running a mysql client
+and connects it to the server through the Service. If it connects, you
+know your stateful MySQL database is up and running.
+
+```
+Waiting for pod default/mysql-client-274442439-zyp6i to be running, status is Pending, pod ready: false
+If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
+
+mysql> 
+```
+
+### Updating
+
+The image or any other part of the Deployment can be updated as usual
+with the `kubectl apply` command. Here are some precautions that are
+specific to stateful apps:
+
+* Don't scale the app. This setup is for single-instance apps
+  only. The underlying PersistentVolume can only be mounted to one
+  Pod. For clustered stateful apps, see the
+  [StatefulSet documentation](/docs/user-guide/petset/).
+* Use `strategy:` `type: Recreate` in the Deployment configuration
+  YAML file. This instructs Kubernetes to _not_ use rolling
+  updates. Rolling updates will not work, as you cannot have more than
+  one Pod running at a time. The `Recreate` strategy will stop the
+  first pod before creating a new one with the updated configuration.
+
+### Deleting a deployment
+
+Delete the deployed objects by name:
+
+```
+kubectl delete deployment,svc mysql
+kubectl delete pvc mysql-pv-claim
+kubectl delete pv mysql-pv
+```
+
+Also, if you are using Compute Engine disks:
+
+```
+gcloud compute disks delete mysql-disk
+```
