Kubernetes Container Not Running Verification

To confirm a container is not running, execute 'kubectl get pods' to inspect the STATUS column. If the output shows 'Pending', 'CrashLoopBackOff', 'ImagePullBackOff', 'ErrImagePull', or 'RunContainerError', the container is failing to execute its workload as expected. Use 'kubectl describe pod ' to view the Events section for real-time lifecycle status updates.
