What are the possible states of a container when the scheduler assigns a pod to a node and kubelet creates a container for the pod using container runtime?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the different states a container can have when it is being managed by a scheduler and kubelet in a Kubernetes environment. It is focused on the operational status of a container in relation to pod scheduling and lifecycle events.

More Information

In Kubernetes, when the scheduler assigns a pod to a node and the kubelet creates a container, the possible states a container can be in are Waiting, Running, and Terminated. The state reflects the current status of the container in the workload lifecycle.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse the states of a pod with the states of a container. While a pod has similar states, it is important to distinguish the unit of operations.
