Vault pod can't initialize

[Aleksey Zalesov]

I am stuck on the step that deploys Vault. Pod is waiting in the Init:0/1 stage forever.

$ kubectl get pods --watch
NAME      READY     STATUS     RESTARTS   AGE
vault-0   0/2       Init:0/1   0          6s

I am note sure how it can be but initialization container is waiting because PodInitializing.

$ kubectl logs vault-0 -c config
Error from server (BadRequest): container "config" in pod "vault-0" is waiting to start: PodInitializing

satefulSet tells me the pod created successfully though

Events:

The error reproduces on 1.10.5-gke.0 as well the original GKE cluster version.

There's an init container. Try:

$ kubectl logs vault-0 -c vault-init
