Step-by-step diagnostic process for container startup failures, exit code analysis, and logs extraction.
kubectl logs <pod> --previous to inspect stdout/stderr from the crashed process.kubectl describe pod <pod> to see if failing liveness probes are triggering restarts.# 1. Check pod events & status
kubectl get pods
kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
# 2. Inspect logs of the crashed container instance
kubectl logs <pod-name> --previous --tail=50
# 3. Check node metrics for memory/CPU pressure
kubectl top pod <pod-name>
Compare persistent identifiers, network states, persistent volume mappings, and update ordering.
web-0.db), Deployments use random hashes.data-web-0). Deployments share storage.0 -> 1 -> 2). Deployments perform rolling updates in parallel.# 1. Inspect StatefulSet Pods (Note the sequence 0, 1, 2)
kubectl get statefulset db-node
kubectl get pods -l app=db-node
# 2. View persistent volume claims mapped per ordinal
kubectl get pvc -l app=db-node
Prevent concurrent runs, prevent state file corruption, and backend locks using DynamoDB or Consul.
terraform force-unlock <Lock-ID>.# 1. Initialize backend state with locking
terraform init
# 2. Apply infrastructure changes (acquires state lock automatically)
terraform apply
# 3. Emergency manual lock release (use with caution)
terraform force-unlock 98b6a1f0-0b61-46e2-8921-987818e3810a
Deep dive into Pod-to-Pod CNIs, Kube-Proxy services VIP iptables, Ingress Controllers, and CoreDNS lookups.
auth-service.production.svc.cluster.local to ClusterIPs.# 1. Check CNI node communication endpoints
kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l k8s-app=calico-node
# 2. Inspect iptables rules configured for a service
iptables -t nat -L PREROUTING -n -v
# 3. Perform DNS query inside cluster container
kubectl exec -it alpine -- nslookup auth-service
Diagnose CPU usage spikes on EKS worker nodes, container CPU limits, throttling, and threads profiling.
kubectl top nodes and kubectl top pods -A to identify which pod/node is eating capacity.htop or ps aux --sort=-%cpu to check processes.pprof for Go, pprof tools) to diagnose lock contentions.# 1. Show resource usage for nodes and pods
kubectl top nodes
kubectl top pods --all-namespaces --sort-by=cpu
# 2. Inspect node capacity details
kubectl describe node <eks-worker-node-name>
# 3. Check CPU throttling metrics for a container
kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.stat
