pod are not getting created in kubernetes but deployment exists?

6/11/2019

I have a cluster running on Azure cloud. I have a deployment of a peer service on that cluster. But pods for that deployment is not getting created. I have also scaled up replica set for that depolyment.

Even when i am trying to create simple deployment of docker busybox image then it is not able to create the pods.

Please guide me what could be the issue ?

EDIT

output for describe deployment

It is the responsibility of the kube-apiserver (k8s master plane component) to serve your API requests which is for example : kubectl create .. or kubectl scale ... Now to actually maintain the state of those kubernetes resources to the desired state, is the job of kube-controller-manager (another k8s master plane component). Also, to schedule those resources to nodes is the job of kube-scheduler (another k8s master plane component).

Being said the above information and assuming (I think) you are using managed Kubernetes therefore the above components are managed by you cloud provider. But with my (on-premise kubernetes) experience I can say that if your deployment commands are being executed correctly that means kube-apiserver is working correctly but kube-controller is not functioning correctly. Also, if the pods show up but is stuck in creating status then it is the problem of the kube-scheduler which is not doing it's job.

All in all, it is worth checking the logs of kube-controller and kube-scheduler.

There are a million reasons why your pods could be broken and there is a bunch of information that you can get that would give you more information on why the pods are not being created. I would start with:

What are the pods saying:

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide

If you can see the pods but they have errors, what do the errors say. Further describe the broken pods.

kubectl describe pod <pod-name>

Or grab logs

kubectl logs <pod-name>

Maybe something went wrong with your deployment. Check the deployments.

kubectl get deployments

Describe the deployments (like pods above), look for errors.

We can't really help you until you provide way more information. What debugging attempts have you made so far? What errors are displayed and where are you seeing them? What is actually happening when there's an attempt to create the pods.

kubectl Get/Describe/Log everything and let us know what's actually happening.

Here's a good place to start:
