Error from server: admission webhook "validate.nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io" denied the request

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
The image was pulled, but the container runtime failed to create the container — bad command, missing mount target, or a name/vol…
Error from server (BadRequest): container "x" in pod "y" is waiting to start: ContainerCreating
kubectl logs has nothing to show yet — the container hasn’t started (still creating, pulling, or blocked).
pods is forbidden: failed quota: must specify limits.cpu,limits.memory,requests.cpu,requests.memory
A ResourceQuota on the namespace covers CPU/memory, so every pod must declare those requests/limits — and this one doesn’t.
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.
Two steps away (21)
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.
Kubernetes node NotReady (Kubelet stopped posting node status)
The control plane hasn’t heard from a node’s kubelet, or the kubelet reports a problem — pods there stop being scheduled and are…
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…
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.
AWS: ThrottlingException / Rate exceeded
You exceeded the request rate for an AWS API; retry with exponential backoff.
Azure: SkuNotAvailable / QuotaExceeded when creating a VM or resource
The VM size isn’t offered in that region/zone for your subscription, or you’ve hit the vCPU quota.
Kubernetes: Pod Evicted — The node was low on resource: memory / ephemeral-storage
The kubelet removed the pod because its node ran short of memory or disk.
Pod stuck in Terminating state
kubectl delete pod hangs and the pod shows Terminating for minutes or forever.
No resources found in default namespace
Not an error: kubectl found nothing of that kind in the namespace it looked in — usually because the resources are in another nam…
