If you run the following command:

kubectl describe pod etcd-minikube

and it doesn’t work, it’s likely because Kubernetes uses namespaces to organize resources.

By default, kubectl describe pod searches in the default namespace, but etcd-minikube is most likely running in the kube-system namespace.

To get the correct details, use this command instead:

kubectl describe pod --namespace kube-system etcd-minikube

This ensures that kubectl looks in the kube-system namespace for the etcd-minikube pod, and the command will work as expected.
