CreateContainerConfigError

$Status: CreateContainerConfigError

Analysis

Kubernetes failed to generate the configuration needed to start the container, often due to missing Secrets or ConfigMaps.

Common Triggers

  • Referencing a ConfigMap or Secret that doesn't exist.
  • Referencing a key within a ConfigMap/Secret that doesn't exist.

Debug Checks

  • $Describe pod: kubectl describe pod <pod_name>.
  • $Check missing resources: kubectl get secrets, kubectl get configmaps.

Resolution

1
Create the missing ConfigMap or Secret.
2
Fix the name/key reference in the deployment YAML.
