Report #103750

[bug\_fix] CreateContainerConfigError

Run \`kubectl describe pod \` and look for \`configmap "x" not found\` or \`secret "y" not found\`. Create the missing ConfigMap or Secret, fix the referenced name/namespace, or mark the key as optional with \`optional: true\` if it is not required.

Journey Context:
You apply a deployment and the pod status is \`CreateContainerConfigError\`. Logs are unavailable because the container was never created. \`kubectl describe pod\` says \`Error: secret "db-password" not found\`. You check \`kubectl get secrets\` and see it is named \`db-passwords\` \(plural\) or lives in a different namespace. After creating the secret with the correct name and mounting it, the pod proceeds to \`ContainerCreating\` and then \`Running\`.
