How to check when "kubectl delete" failed with "timeout waiting for ... to be synced"
Check if kubectl describe pod <pod name> (associated pod of the job) still returns something, which would:
- mean the node is still there
- include the pod condition
In that state, you can then consider a force deletion.
I think this is the same as the problem reported in github:
Cannot delete jobs when their associated pods are gone
This is reported by several people, and it is not fixed still.
And can use the "-v=X" (e.g. -v=8) option for the kubectl command, it will give more detailed debug info.
As taken from https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/43168#issuecomment-375700293
Try using --cascade=false in your delete job command.
It worked for me
