Why are pods in a CrashLoopBackOff status?

Virtual Private Cloud Classic infrastructure

Your pods are in a CrashLoopBackOff status.

When you try to deploy an app that works on community Kubernetes platforms, you might see this status or a related error message because Red Hat OpenShift sets up stricter security settings by default than community Kubernetes.

Make sure that you review the common scenarios where you might need to modify your apps and follow the docs in the Moving your apps to OpenShift topic.
