VM

Deployment/Start Failures:

  1. Failed to start*
  2. Failed to boot*

Post-Deployment/Start failures:

  1. Shutdown
  2. Crash
  3. Hang*
  4. Panic

If possible, Infrastructure metrics and syslogs from within the VM should be collected.

Deployment/Start failures can be the first step.


Container

Deployment/Start Failures:

  1. Failed to start*
  2. Failed to boot*

Post-Deployment/Start failures:

  1. Shutdown
  2. Crash
  3. Hang
  4. Panic
  • OS layer – syslog, boot.log, kern.log etc.
  • Kubernetes Layer – container Logs (/var/log/containers)
  • OpenStack Layer – OpenStack service Logs
