Kubernetes pod startup delays can occur unexpectedly, taking 2-3 minutes for some pods while others start in seconds. This issue often frustrates users and raises questions from management, especially when logs do not reveal useful insights. The issue typically lies in the operations between executing a kubectl apply command and when the pod is ready to serve traffic, indicating potential complications within the Kubernetes architecture or components involved in pod management.
The problem isn't with your application code - it's somewhere in the dark matter between when you run kubectl apply and when your pod actually starts serving traffic.
Pod startup delays in Kubernetes can lead to user frustration and confusion, especially when logs provide no useful information, necessitating a deeper understanding of Kubernetes pod lifecycle.
