Kubernetes has broken down barriers as the cornerstone of cloud-native application infrastructure in recent years. In addition, cloud vendors offer flexibility, speedy operations, high availability, SLAs (service-level agreement) that guarantee your service availability, and a large catalog of embedded services. But as organizations mature in their Kubernetes journey, monitoring and optimizing costs is the next stage in their cloud-native transformation.
In this previous article, we talked about how to monitor the Istio service mesh in Kubernetes with the out-of-the-box observability stack. This time, we will walk you through monitoring the Istio service mesh with Sysdig Monitor and how to troubleshoot issues. Istio service mesh provides special characteristics and functionalities for microservices running on Kubernetes.
Pod statuses like ImagePullBackOff or ErrImagePull are common when working with containers. ErrImagePull is an error happening when the image specified for a container can’t be retrieved or pulled.

What does it mean that Kubernetes Pods are evicted? They are terminated, usually the result of not having enough resources. But why does this happen?
