I just ran kubectl apply -f and got a response that pod/mypod got created with no error messages or anything
Then I did a kubectl get pods --all-namespaces and there is no trace of mypod!
How can I troubleshoot the pod creation? Where would these logs be, if any?
Thanks.
You can try to look at the logs from each of the Kubernetes components. You can start with the kube-apiserver to see what happened after the request was received. Then the kube-scheduler, and so forth.
This is likely due to Kubernetes not being able to find resources to run your pod. Are your nodes healthy? You can check them:
$ kubectl get nodesYou can also look at the logs of your kubelet on your nodes.
Notice that when you get the message pod/mypod got created it means that the objects were created in the cluster's state store (etcd)
kubectl get event -n name_spaceis a good start to see what went wrong which showed me Volume mount issue
An even better command to call is:
journalctl -u kubelet
