<p>I can list pods in my prod namespace</p>
<pre><code>kubectl get pods -n prod
NAME       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS      AGE
curl-pod   1/1     Running   1 (32m ago)   38m
web        1/1     Running   1 (33m ago)   38m
</code></pre>
<p>I got error</p>
<pre><code>kubectl describe pods curl-pod
Error from server (NotFound): pods &quot;curl-pod&quot; not found
</code></pre>
<p>Get events show</p>
<pre><code>   Normal   Scheduled        pod/curl-pod   Successfully assigned prod/curl-pod to minikube
</code></pre>
<p>Why?</p>

Richard Rublev
<p>kubernetes manages by namespace, so you must specify namespace otherwise kubernetes will use namespace default.<br />
So, you must type:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl describe pod/curl-pod -n prod
</code></pre>
