If your pod keeps restarting with a CrashLoopBackOff error, it’s likely due to a misconfiguration or runtime crash.
Steps to Fix:
- Check the pod logs:
kubectl logs <pod-name> - Examine container exit codes and events:
kubectl describe pod <pod-name> - Common causes:
- Invalid environment variables
- Missing config maps/secrets
- Application crash or out-of-memory
Resolution:
Update the pod spec or Docker image. Use readinessProbe and livenessProbe properly to avoid false restarts.
