 * Before a scaling operation is applied to a Pod, all of its predecessors must be Running and Ready. 
 * Before a Pod is terminated, all of its successors must be completely shutdown.
 
+The StatefulSet should not specify a `pod.Spec.TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` of 0. The practice of setting a `pod.Spec.TerminationGracePeriodSeconds` of 0 seconds is unsafe and strongly discouraged. For further explanation, please refer to [force deleting StatefulSet Pods](/docs/tasks/manage-stateful-set/delete-pods/#deleting-pods).

 When the web example above is created, three Pods will be deployed in the order

+You should be running Node version >= 1.1.0 to run StatefulSets safely. Older versions do not support features which allow the StatefulSet to guarantee that at any time, there is **at most** one Pod with a given identity running in a cluster.
