Kubernetes: CrashLoopBackOff
The container starts, crashes (or exits), and Kubernetes keeps restarting it with increasing back-off delays.
Kubernetes: CreateContainerConfigError — secret / configmap not found
Kubernetes can’t build the container’s configuration — usually a referenced Secret, ConfigMap or key doesn’t exist in that namesp…
Pod status CreateContainerError

rendered manifests contain a resource that already exists. Unable to continue with install: ... invalid ownership metadata
Helm wants to create an object that already exists but isn’t labelled as belonging to this release.
Error from server (BadRequest): container "x" in pod "y" is waiting to start: ContainerCreating

Two steps away (19)
remote: Permission to owner/repo.git denied to github-actions[bot]. fatal: unable to access … The requested URL returned error: 403
A GitHub Actions workflow tried to push but the GITHUB_TOKEN doesn’t have write permission.
CloudFormation: No updates are to be performed
You ran an update/deploy with a template and parameters identical to what’s deployed, so there’s nothing to change.
toomanyrequests: You have reached your pull rate limit (Docker Hub)
Docker Hub limits anonymous and free pulls; your IP or account has used its quota for the current window.
Namespace stuck in Terminating
A deleted namespace never disappears because some resource inside it, or the namespace’s own finalizer, can’t be cleaned up.
Readiness probe failed: HTTP probe failed with statuscode: 503 / connect: connection refused
The container is running, but its readiness check fails, so the pod is marked not ready and removed from Service endpoints.
Liveness probe failed ... Container will be restarted (also Startup probe failed)
The kubelet’s liveness (or startup) check failed enough times that it killed and restarted the container.
no space left on device (Docker / Linux)
The disk (or inode table) is full — Docker images, build cache, logs and volumes are common culprits.
Kubernetes: ImagePullBackOff / ErrImagePull
The node can’t pull the container image — wrong name/tag, missing registry credentials, or registry unreachable.
Kubernetes: OOMKilled (exit code 137)
The container used more memory than its limit, and the kernel killed it.
KeyError: 'x'
You accessed a dictionary key that doesn’t exist.
Kubernetes: Pod stuck in Pending — FailedScheduling: 0/3 nodes are available
The scheduler can’t find a node that satisfies the pod’s resource requests, selectors, taints or volume constraints.
hint: You have divergent branches and need to specify how to reconcile them.
Git 2.27+ asks you to choose merge, rebase or fast-forward-only when local and remote both have new commits.
OCI runtime create failed: exec: "x": executable file not found in $PATH
The command you asked the container to run doesn’t exist inside the image — wrong command name, a shell that isn’t installed (bas…
Pod status InvalidImageName: couldn't parse image reference
The image field in the pod spec isn’t a valid image reference, so the kubelet can’t even try to pull it.
Pod status RunContainerError
The container was created but failed to start — usually an invalid command/entrypoint, missing interpreter, or permission problem…
Error from server (AlreadyExists): ... already exists
kubectl create tried to make an object whose name is already taken in that namespace.
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
The server hit an unexpected condition — usually an unhandled exception or misconfiguration in the application.
HTTP 499 Client Closed Request (Nginx)
Nginx-specific code logged when the client disconnected before the server finished responding.
kubectl: The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused — did you specify the right host or port?
kubectl has no usable kubeconfig, so it falls back to localhost:8080 — or the cluster API server is unreachable.
