Troubleshooting
Common pitfalls
Error from server (Forbidden): pods is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:default:default" cannot list pods in the namespace "kube-system"
Solution: Check RBAC permissions and ensure proper roles are assigned.
Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
Solution: Verify the Kubernetes API server's certificate or update local kubeconfig context.
Error: No resources found in default namespace.
Solution: Specify a different namespace with the '-n' flag or create required pods first.
