title: Pods stuck in PodInitializing state indefinitely
body: <p>I've got a k8s cronjob that consists of an init container and a one pod container. If the init container fails, the Pod in the main container never gets started, and stays in "PodInitializing" indefinitely.</p>
  
  <p>My intent is for the job to fail if the init container fails.</p>
