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).
Kubernetes: CrashLoopBackOff
The container starts, crashes (or exits), and Kubernetes keeps restarting it with increasing back-off delays.
Pod stuck ContainerCreating: MountVolume.SetUp failed / Unable to attach or mount volumes: timed out waiting for the condition
The kubelet couldn’t mount one of the pod’s volumes, so the pod stays in ContainerCreating.
Pod status Init:CrashLoopBackOff / Init:Error
An init container keeps failing, so the pod’s main containers never start.
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…
Namespace stuck in Terminating

Two steps away (21)
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…
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.
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.
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.
Azure Storage: AuthorizationPermissionMismatch (403) — This request is not authorized to perform this operation using this permission
You’re accessing blob/queue data with Microsoft Entra ID, but the identity has only management roles (Owner/Contributor) — not a…

localStorage/sessionStorage is full (about 5 MB per origin) or storage is disabled.
MySQL ERROR 126 (HY000): Incorrect key file for table; try to repair it

Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code
The MySQL/MariaDB service failed to start — the real reason is in the MySQL error log.
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.
Failed to create pod sandbox: plugin type="calico" failed (add): ... (FailedCreatePodSandBox)
The kubelet couldn’t set up the pod’s network sandbox — almost always a CNI plugin problem or exhausted pod IPs.
