Pods can get stuck in Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, or ImagePullBackOff states:
- Pod stuck in Pending: Check node availability and resource limits. You can check the events of the Pod for further information.
- CrashLoopBackOff: Investigate app logs and check misconfigurations.
- ImagePullBackOff: Ensure the correct image name and pull credentials. Again, investigate the Pod's events for further information.
You can check the events of the Pod using the describe
command:
kubectl describe pod
