Pods Stuck in ContainerCreating State

[Konami33]

Problem Statement:

Pods in the Kubernetes cluster are consistently stuck in the ContainerCreating state and are not transitioning to a running state. This issue affects the creation of new pods.

Details:

1. Current Pod Status:

   Running the kubectl get all -n kube-system --kubeconfig admin.kubeconfig command yields the following output:

   ubuntu@controller-0:~$ kubectl get all -n kube-system --kubeconfig admin.kubeconfig
   NAME                           READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
   pod/coredns-76c4db7d5f-k66pd   0/1     ContainerCreating   0          33m
   pod/coredns-76c4db7d5f-k7bqm   0/1     ContainerCreating   0          33m
   
   NAME               TYPE        CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)         AGE
   service/kube-dns   ClusterIP   10.32.0.57   <none>        53/UDP,53/TCP   33m
   
   NAME                      READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
   deployment.apps/coredns   0/2     2            0           33m
   
   NAME                                 DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AGE
   replicaset.apps/coredns-76c4db7d5f   2         2         0       33m
   

   Note: The pods, including coredns, remain in the ContainerCreating state, and no pods are transitioning to the Running state.

2. Observed Events:

   The following events were recorded:

   Events:

   The repeated warning indicates a failure in creating the pod sandbox due to issues with cgroup mountpoints.

Request for Assistance:

Please investigate the root cause of why pods are stuck in the ContainerCreating state and address the issue with cgroup mountpoints as noted in the events. Guidance on resolving the FailedCreatePodSandBox error and ensuring proper cgroup configuration would be appreciated.
