Pod won’t start. kubectl describe pod shows nothing useful. What happened?

Events: Kubernetes event log shows everything.

# All events in namespace
kubectl get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'

# Filter by pod
kubectl get events --field-selector involvedObject.name=my-pod

# Watch live events
kubectl get events --watch

Common Issues Revealed:
– Image pull failures
– OOMKilled (out of memory)
– CrashLoopBackOff reasons
– Volume mount errors

Events tell you EXACTLY what failed.
