Tool
Cloud Run
Container failed to start. Failed to start and then listen on the port defined by the PORT environment variable.Cloud Run container failed to start and listen on the configured portcontainers: Cloud Run could not start the deployed container because the process did not bind to the port specified by the PORT environment variable within the startup window.
While handling this request, the container instance was found to be using too much memory and was terminated.Cloud Run container instance was using too much memory and was terminatedruntime: Cloud Run terminated the container because the instance exceeded its available memory while processing a request, often resulting in HTTP 500 or 503 responses.
Waiting for certificate provisioning. You must configure your DNS records for certificate issuance to begin.Cloud Run custom domain is waiting for certificate provisioningnetworking: Cloud Run could not complete SSL certificate provisioning for the mapped custom domain because the DNS or domain ownership requirements are not yet satisfied.
HTTP 500 error codes in the logsCloud Run deployment succeeded but logs show HTTP 500 errorsruntime: Cloud Run successfully deployed the service, but the running container or entrypoint is still failing at runtime and returning HTTP 500 responses.
Container import error. Resource readiness deadline exceeded.Cloud Run failed with container import error and resource readiness deadline exceededdeployment: Cloud Run could not finish importing or preparing the deployed container image before the platform readiness deadline expired, so the revision never became ready.
The feature is not supported in the declared launch stageCloud Run feature is not supported in the declared launch stagedeployment: Cloud Run rejected an Admin API request because it used a feature that requires a beta or preview launch stage but the request did not declare the appropriate launch stage.
HTTP 429 The request was aborted because there was no available instanceCloud Run request aborted because there was no available instanceruntime: Cloud Run could not serve the request because the service had no container instance available, often due to max-instances limits, cold starts, or a sudden traffic spike.
HTTP 503 The request failed because either the HTTP response was malformed or connection to the instance had an errorCloud Run request failed because the response was malformed or the instance connection failedruntime: Cloud Run returned a 503 because it could not communicate cleanly with the container instance, or because the response emitted by the app was malformed.
HTTP 504Cloud Run request hit the HTTP 504 timeoutruntime: Cloud Run terminated the request because it exceeded the configured request timeout before the container returned a complete response.
The request was not authenticated. Either allow unauthenticated invocations or set the proper Authorization header.Cloud Run request was not authenticatedauthentication: Cloud Run rejected the request because the service requires authentication and the caller did not provide a valid authorization header or anonymous access is disabled.
403 ForbiddenCloud Run returned 403 Forbiddenauthentication: Cloud Run rejected the request with 403 Forbidden because the caller is not authorized to invoke the service or the access path is blocked by policy or configuration.
HTTP 404: Not FoundCloud Run returned HTTP 404 Not Foundnetworking: Cloud Run returned 404 Not Found because the request URL is wrong, the application itself returned 404, or the request never reached the container due to ingress or endpoint configuration.
HTTP 500 The request was aborted because there was no available instanceCloud Run returns HTTP 500 because no instance was availableruntime: Cloud Run returned an internal server error because the platform could not keep up with the incoming rate of traffic or request processing demand.
Revision is not ready and cannot serve trafficCloud Run revision is not ready and cannot serve trafficdeployment: Cloud Run created a revision but it failed readiness checks or startup requirements, so the revision never became ready to accept traffic.
Google Cloud Run Service Agent does not have permission to get access tokens for the service account.Cloud Run service agent does not have permission to get access tokens for the service accountauthentication: Cloud Run could not create or update the service because its service agent lacks the required permission to mint access tokens for the configured service account.
Permission 'storage.objects.create' deniedCloud Run source deployment failed because storage.objects.create was deniedauthentication: A Cloud Run deployment that stages source code through Cloud Storage failed because the caller or build identity does not have permission to create the required storage objects.
Tool
GKE
0/1 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports.GKE could not schedule the pod because nodes did not have free requested pod portsnetworking: GKE could not place the pod on a node because the requested hostPort is already in use and the node does not have a free matching port.
401 UnauthorizedGKE image pull failed with 401 Unauthorizedauthentication: A Google Kubernetes Engine image pull failed with 401 Unauthorized because the node service account or registry credentials are invalid, disabled, or missing.
i/o timeoutGKE image pull failed with i/o timeoutnetworking: A Google Kubernetes Engine node timed out while connecting to the image registry, usually because of network reachability, firewall, NAT, DNS, or internet access problems.
NotReadyGKE node entered NotReady statusruntime: A GKE node stopped reporting healthy readiness to the control plane, which can be caused by kubelet problems, runtime failures, resource pressure, or underlying node instability.
ImagePullBackOffGKE pod failed to pull its container imagecontainers: A Google Kubernetes Engine pod could not pull its image from the registry, so Kubernetes backed off subsequent pull attempts and reported ImagePullBackOff.
ErrImagePullGKE pod failed with ErrImagePullcontainers: A Google Kubernetes Engine pod could not pull the required container image, so Kubernetes reported ErrImagePull before backing off additional attempts.
CrashLoopBackOffGKE pod is stuck in CrashLoopBackOffcontainers: A Google Kubernetes Engine workload is repeatedly crashing and restarting, so Kubernetes backed off further restarts and reported CrashLoopBackOff.
scale.up.error.quota.exceededGKE scale-up failed because quota was exceededdeployment: GKE could not add more nodes to schedule the workload because scaling up the cluster would exceed the available Google Cloud quota.
Unbound PersistentVolumeClaimsGKE workload is blocked by Unbound PersistentVolumeClaimsvolumes: A Google Kubernetes Engine pod cannot be scheduled because it references a PersistentVolumeClaim that is not successfully bound to usable storage.
