kubectl describe is a kubectl subcommand that shows detailed information about one or more Kubernetes resources in a human-readable format. It is used like kubectl describe pod 이름, and because it prints not only the resource's spec and status but also related events such as scheduling failures, image pull errors, and restarts, it is the first step in finding the cause when a pod does not come up. To see the raw YAML as is, use kubectl get -o yaml.
