🔍 Cluster Doctor Diagnostic Report

Issue Status: ✅ ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED & FIX CREATED

---

Executive Summary

The ArgoCD deployment failure for tech-connect-live is caused by a typo in the container image name for the order-service deployment. The application synced successfully, but pods are failing with ImagePullBackOff because the specified image does not exist.

---

🎯 Root Cause Analysis

Verified Symptoms

• Application Status: Synced but Degraded
• Pod Status: 0/1 ImagePullBackOff for order-service pods
• Error Duration: 70+ minutes of repeated pull failures
• Affected Resources: 2 order-service replica pods

Evidence Collected

1. Cluster Verification (Identity Confirmed)

• Cluster: aks-eastus2 in resource group rg-anyscale-demo ✅
• Server: https://kubernetes.default.svc ✅
• Namespace: default ✅

2. Pod Status Analysis

NAME                              READY   STATUS             RESTARTS
order-service-75db49898-vrlq8     0/1     ImagePullBackOff   0
order-service-b89d58f55-bnrj5     0/1     ImagePullBackOff   0

3. Image Pull Error

Error: ImagePullBackOff
Back-off pulling image "ghcr.io/azure-samples/aks-store-demo/order-servie:2.1.0"

4. Root Cause - Typo in Image Name

• File: Act-3/argocd/apps/broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml:196
• Incorrect: ghcr.io/azure-samples/aks-store-demo/order-servie:2.1.0 ❌
• Correct: ghcr.io/azure-samples/aks-store-demo/order-service:2.1.0 ✅
• Issue: Missing "c" in "service" → "servie"

5. ArgoCD Sync Status

• Sync operation: ✅ Succeeded
• Resources deployed: ✅ 20/20 resources synced
• Health status: ❌ Degraded (due to failing pods)
• The manifest was successfully applied, but the image name is invalid

---

📋 Additional Observations

Secondary Issues (Non-Critical):

1. Load Balancer Sync Warnings - Intermittent warnings for store-admin and store-front services attempting to sync load balancers. These appear to be transient Azure API issues and will self-resolve.

Healthy Resources:

• ✅ mongodb StatefulSet (1/1 Running)
• ✅ rabbitmq StatefulSet (1/1 Running)
• ✅ makeline-service (1/1 Running)
• ✅ product-service (1/1 Running)
• ✅ store-admin (1/1 Running)
• ✅ store-front (1/1 Running)
• ✅ virtual-customer (1/1 Running)
• ✅ virtual-worker (1/1 Running)

🔧 Remediation

Pull Request Created: #50
Branch: fix/cluster-doctor-issue-49-20260211

Changes Applied:

• Corrected image name from order-servie to order-service
• Single-line change to manifest file
• Safe, non-destructive fix

Auto-Remediation: Once PR #50 is merged, ArgoCD will automatically:

1. Detect the manifest change (via Git polling or webhook)
2. Sync the updated deployment
3. Pull the correct image
4. Start order-service pods successfully
5. Transition application health to Healthy

---

✅ Validation Plan

Post-Merge Verification Commands:

# 1. Monitor ArgoCD application sync
kubectl get application tech-connect-live -n argocd -w

# 2. Check order-service pods (should show Running within 1-2 min)
kubectl get pods -n default -l app=order-service

# 3. Verify pod readiness
kubectl describe pod -n default -l app=order-service

# 4. Check application health
kubectl get pods -n default

# 5. Verify events (should show successful image pull)
kubectl get events -n default --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' | grep order-service

Expected Results:

• order-service pods: 1/1 Running
• ArgoCD health: Healthy
• No ImagePullBackOff errors
• Readiness/liveness probes passing

---

🛡️ Safety & Rollback

Risk Assessment: ⬇️ LOW RISK

• One-character typo fix
• No architectural changes
• No configuration changes
• Existing resources remain untouched

Rollback Options:

1. Git Revert: Revert PR Fix: Correct order-service image name typo (Issue #49) #50 (ArgoCD will auto-sync back)
2. Manual: kubectl rollout undo deployment/order-service -n default
3. ArgoCD: Roll back to previous revision in ArgoCD UI

📊 Diagnostics Summary

Category	Status	Details
Cluster Identity	✅ Verified	aks-eastus2 confirmed via multiple signals
Network/CNI	✅ Healthy	No network policy or CNI issues detected
RBAC/Permissions	✅ Healthy	ArgoCD successfully synced all resources
Resource Constraints	✅ Healthy	No CPU/memory pressure issues
Image Registry	❌ Failed	Image name typo prevents pull

---

🎓 Recommendations

1. Immediate: Merge PR Fix: Correct order-service image name typo (Issue #49) #50 to resolve the issue
2. Short-term: Consider adding pre-commit hooks to validate image names against registry
3. Long-term: Implement automated manifest validation (kubeval, kustomize, helm lint) in CI/CD pipeline
