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.
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…

The image field in the pod spec isn’t a valid image reference, so the kubelet can’t even try to pull it.

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.

The kubelet couldn’t set up the pod’s network sandbox — almost always a CNI plugin problem or exhausted pod IPs.

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.

The named object doesn’t exist in the namespace/cluster kubectl is pointing at.
