No container Instances were found in your cluster

190    Asked by AudreyBerry in AWS , Asked on May 22, 2024

I am currently engaged in a particular task that is related to troubleshooting a deployment issue in the Kubernetes cluster, and I have encountered the error message “no container instance was found in your cluster” l. How can I troubleshoot and resolve this particular issue? 

Answered by Celina Lagunas

 In the context of AWS, here are the appropriate steps given for how you can troubleshoot and resolve this particular issue:-

Verifying cluster status

You can use the command “kubectl get nodes” to check if your cluster nodes are up and running.

Checking deployment status

You can use the “kubectl get deployment” so that you can ensure your deployment is successfully created.

Inspect pod status

You can use the “kubectl get pods” for listing all the pods in the cluster.

Examine container logs

You can use the “kubectl logs ” to view container logs and identifying any runtime errors or failures.

Checking node resources

You can use the “kubectl describe node ” to inspect node resources and ensure they are sufficient for running containers.

Here is an example given of how you can troubleshoot the issue by using python programming language:-

From kubernetes import client, config

Import time

Def check_cluster_status():
    Config.load_kube_config()
    V1 = client.CoreV1Api()
    Print(“Listing nodes with their status:”)
    Ret = v1.list_node()
    For node in ret.items:
        Print(f”Node Name: {node.metadata.name}, Status: {node.status.conditions[0].status}”)
Def check_deployment_status(deployment_name):
    Config.load_kube_config()
    V1 = client.AppsV1Api()
    Try:
        Deployment = v1.read_namespaced_deployment(deployment_name, “default”)
        Print(f”Deployment {deployment_name} found. Status: {deployment.status.conditions[0].status}”)

    Except client.exceptions.ApiException as e:

        Print(f”Error: {e}”)
Def troubleshoot_no_instances(deployment_name):
    Print(“Starting troubleshooting…”)
    Check_cluster_status()
    Check_deployment_status(deployment_name)
    Print(“Checking pod status…”)
    Config.load_kube_config()
    V1 = client.CoreV1Api()
    Ret = v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces(watch=False)

    For pod in ret.items:

        If pod.metadata.labels.get(“app”) == deployment_name:
            Print(f”Pod Name: {pod.metadata.name}, Status: {pod.status.phase}, Node: {pod.spec.node_name}”)
            If pod.status.phase == “Pending”:
                Print(“Pod is in Pending state. Checking events…”)
                Check_pod_events(pod.metadata.name)
Def check_pod_events(pod_name):
    Config.load_kube_config()
    V1 = client.CoreV1Api()
    Ret = v1.list_namespaced_event(“default”)
    For event in ret.items:
        If event.involved_object.kind == “Pod” and event.involved_object.name == pod_name:
            Print(f”Event Type: {event.type}, Message: {event.message}”)
If __name__ == “__main__”:
    Deployment_name = “example-deployment”
    Troubleshoot_no_instances(deployment_name)
