Reasons for Troubleshooting Containers

Explore the importance of troubleshooting containers to ensure stable application deployment. Understand common causes of Docker and Kubernetes failures, such as improper setup, maintenance issues, application changes, and software updates. Learn practical approaches to diagnose and fix container build and runtime errors to maintain optimal system performance.

Why troubleshoot containers?

The desire of every business, developer, and DevOps engineer is to have a stable environment. It’s where Docker images are correctly built, Docker and Kubernetes are performing optimally well, and the application has no downtime as a function of all these working fine. Despite the benefits of deploying without containers over deploying without them, there are also some issues when using them, and that’s why we’ll be looking at how to troubleshoot them.

Troubleshooting containers is important to ensure smooth application building, deployment, and running. In troubleshooting containers, we’ll look at case scenarios of why Docker is failing in an environment if there’s an image issue, why the application keeps crashing through pods, and how to resolve all this.
