 Now let's take a close look at what happens after this pod is deleted.  There are three things that happen:
 
   1. The redis replication controller notices that its desired state is 3 replicas, but there are currently only 2 replicas, and so it creates a new redis server to bring the replica count back up to 3
-  2. The redis-sentinel replication controller likewise notices the missing sentinel, and also creates a new sentinel.
-  3. The redis sentinels themselves, realize that the master has disappeared from the cluster, and begin the election procedure for selecting a new master.  They perform this election and selection, and chose one of the existing redis server replicas to be the new master.
