Privilege Denied

A legacy application that used to run fine suddenly refuses to start. The container never gets to run any code - it's blocked before it even begins.

20 min
Initial Situation

A legacy application was deployed and worked fine for months. After a recent cluster update, the pod fails to start. The container shows a cryptic error and never reaches the Running state. The exact same image works on other clusters.
