CrashLoopBackOff is a Kubernetes state representing a restart loop that is happening in a Pod: a container in the Pod is started, but crashes and is then restarted, over and over again. Kubernetes will wait an increasing back-off time between restarts to give you a chance to fix the error. As such, CrashLoopBackOff is not an error on itself, but indicates that there’s an error happening that prevents a Pod from starting properly.

Welcome to another month of What’s New in Sysdig in 2022! I’m Joshua Ma, a Customer Solutions Engineer based out of sunny Los Angeles. I joined the Customer Success team at Sysdig five months ago. After having my first taste of K8s, containers, and Falco at the North America KubeCon/CloudNativeCon in 2019, I haven’t looked back since!

In the quest for business transformation and digital modernization, organizations have rapidly adopted devops frameworks, microservice architectures, serverless technologies, and containerized infrastructures. However, they have realized that legacy tools cannot adequately address the newer security and monitoring challenges associated with modernization. Sysdig’s mission is to make every cloud platform secure and reliable from source to run.
