09/21/2026, 10:38 PMairbyte-abctl-bootloader pod has a status of Completed (0/1). This is normal and expected behavior. The bootloader runs initialization tasks and database migrations at startup, then terminates successfully once finished [Common Errors].
2. Recent container restarts across all active pods There is an issue indicating instability:
• Simultaneous Restarts: Almost all running pods (cron, manifest-server, server, temporal, worker, workload-api-server, and airbyte-db-0) restarted approximately 2 minutes ago (each showing 4 (2m ago)).
• Workload Launcher Flapping: airbyte-abctl-workload-launcher has restarted 8 times, most recently only 81 seconds ago.
A simultaneous restart across all services—including the database—usually points to host-level issues rather than a single component failure. Common causes include:
• Out of Memory (OOM): The host node or Docker engine ran out of memory, causing containers to be killed (e.g., OOMKilled) or the Docker daemon/Kind node to restart [Github Issue (closed): Cannot use Airbyte on Kubernetes due to OOM when setting up connector; Github Issue (closed): [abctl] Unending "DEBUG helm: Deployment is not ready: airbyte-abctl/airbyte-abctl-server. 0 out of 1 expected pods are ready"].
• Host Reboot or Docker Restart: The host machine or Docker service itself restarted around 2 minutes ago.
• Storage / Disk Pressure: The node may have run out of disk space or experienced storage connectivity disruptions [Github Issue (open): Failed to install airbyte. "pod airbyte-abctl-bootloader failed"; Github Issue (closed): workload-launcher false positive liveness probes under lost storage connection].
Recommended Troubleshooting Steps To find out why the pods restarted:
1. *Check the previous container termination reason:*kubectl describe pod airbyte-abctl-workload-launcher-68b4ddf95b-dcks6
kubectl describe pod airbyte-db-0Look at the Last State section for Reason: OOMKilled or exit codes (such as 137).
2. *Check previous logs:*kubectl logs airbyte-abctl-workload-launcher-68b4ddf95b-dcks6 --previous
3. *Check available host memory and disk resources:*free -h
df -h
