<p>How to debug why it's status is CrashLoopBackOff?</p>

<p>I am not using minikube , working on Aws Kubernetes instance.</p>

<p>I followed this tutorial.
<a href="https://github.com/mkjelland/spring-boot-postgres-on-k8s-sample" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/mkjelland/spring-boot-postgres-on-k8s-sample</a></p>

<p>When I do </p>

<pre><code>  kubectl create -f specs/spring-boot-app.yml
</code></pre>

<p>and check status by </p>

<pre><code>  kubectl get pods 
</code></pre>

<p>it gives </p>

<pre><code>     spring-boot-postgres-sample-67f9cbc8c-qnkzg   0/1     CrashLoopBackOff   14         50m
</code></pre>

<p>Below Command </p>

<pre><code> kubectl describe pods spring-boot-postgres-sample-67f9cbc8c-qnkzg
</code></pre>

<p>gives </p>

<pre><code>Events:

<p>Command <strong>kubectl logs spring-boot-postgres-sample-667f87cf4c-858rx</strong>
doesn't print anything.</p>

<p>First of all I fixed by postgres deployment, there was some error of "pod has unbound PersistentVolumeClaims" , so i fixed that error by this post 
<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52668938/pod-has-unbound-persistentvolumeclaims">pod has unbound PersistentVolumeClaims</a></p>

<p>So now my postgres deployment is running. </p>

<p><strong>kubectl logs spring-boot-postgres-sample-67f9cbc8c-qnkzg</strong> doesn't print anything, it means there is something wrong in config file.
<strong>kubectl describe pod spring-boot-postgres-sample-67f9cbc8c-qnkzg</strong> stating that container is terminated and reason is completed,
I fixed it by running container infinity time
by adding </p>

<pre><code>   # Just sleep forever
command: [ "sleep" ]
args: [ "infinity" ]
</code></pre>

<p>So now my deployment is running.
But now i Exposed my service by </p>

<pre><code>kubectl expose deployment spring-boot-postgres-sample --type=LoadBalancer --port=8080
</code></pre>

<p>but can't able to get External-Ip , so I did </p>

<pre><code>kubectl patch svc &lt;svc-name&gt; -n &lt;namespace&gt; -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer", "externalIPs":["172.31.71.218"]}}'
</code></pre>

<p>So I get my external-Ip as "172.31.71.218"</p>

<p>But now the problem is curl <a href="http://172.31.71.218:8080/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://172.31.71.218:8080/</a> getting timeout</p>

<p>Anything i did wrong?</p>

<p>Here is my deployment.yml</p>

<p>Here How i got host-config map</p>

<pre><code>kubectl create configmap hostname-config --from-literal=postgres_host=$(kubectl get svc postgres -o jsonpath="{.spec.clusterIP}")
</code></pre>
