Pod Evicted
A data processing pod keeps crashing and getting evicted. It was working fine yesterday, but now Kubernetes keeps killing it.
15 min
Initial Situation
A data processing application is deployed as a single pod. The pod starts successfully but after a few seconds gets OOMKilled (Out of Memory). It enters a CrashLoopBackOff state and keeps restarting. The application code hasn't changed, but Kubernetes is now enforcing resource limits. The pod's memory usage exceeds the configured limit, causing eviction.
