Kubernetes describe pod - Error from server (NotFound)
Apr 17
I am trying to debug a pod with the status "ImagePullBackOff". The pod is in the namespace minio-operator, but when I try to to describe the pod, it is apparently not found.
Why does that happen?
[psr-admin@zon-psr-2-u001 ~]$ kubectl get all -n minio-operator
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/minio-operator-5dd99dd858-n6fdj 0/1 ImagepullBackoff 0 7d
NAME READY. UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
deployment.apps/minio-operator 0 1 0 7d
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
replicaset.apps/minio-operator-5dd99dd858 1 1 0 7d
[psr-admin@zon-psr-2-u001 ~]$ kubectl describe pod minio-operator-5dd99dd858-n6fdj
Error from server (NotFound): pods "minio-operator-5dd99dd858-n6fdj" not found
Error from server (NotFound): pods "minio-operator-5dd99dd858-n6fdj" not found

You've not specified the namespace in your describe pod command.
You did kubectl get all -n minio-operator, which gets all resources in the minio-operator namespace, but your kubectl describe has no namespace, so it's looking in the default namespace for a pod that isn't there.
kubectl describe pod -n minio-operator <pod name>
Should work OK.
Most resources in kubernetes are namespaced, so will require the -n <namespace> argument unless you switch namespaces.
Your perspective belongs here.
