Sometimes this error show up when pod is in Terminating status, nothing specific to ContainerCreating

Hi Vikas,

Is this issue still happening with a 3.6 or 3.7 client?
I have been unable to reproduce this as well.

--- Additional comment from Vikas Laad on 2017-10-31 17:24:33 UTC ---

No, I have not seen this issue with 3.6 or 3.7 client.

--- Additional comment from Juan Vallejo on 2017-10-31 17:28:57 UTC ---

Vikas,

Thanks. Will move this to ON_QA.
I do not believe there are plans to backport this
as it was not marked as a blocker.

--- Additional comment from Vikas Laad on 2017-11-01 18:36:52 UTC ---

Changing target release to 3.6 and making it verified. Did not encounter this bz with later releases.
