My kubernetes is running on top of AWS, I am using helm for templating, the problem is my tiller pod keeps on dying every few hours when there is even not much load on the cluster. I am getting no clue what so ever from logs

ubuntu@kops:~$ kubectl get pods -owide -n kube-system | grep tiller tiller-deploy-6b985bb7b-88ssk 0/1 CrashLoopBackOff 71 19h 100.96.4.3 ip-172-20-46-194.us-west-2.compute.internal ubuntu@kops:~$ ubuntu@kops:~$ ubuntu@kops:~$ kubectl describe pod tiller-deploy-6b985bb7b-88ssk Error from server (NotFound): pods "tiller-deploy-6b985bb7b-88ssk" not found ubuntu@kops:~$ ubuntu@kops:~$ ubuntu@kops:~$ ubuntu@kops:~$ ubuntu@kops:~$ kubectl logs tiller-deploy-6b985bb7b-88ssk Error from server (NotFound): pods "tiller-deploy-6b985bb7b-88ssk" not found ubuntu@kops:~$

To get you a bit further, you need to add --namespace kube-system to your describe command:

kubectl --namespace kube-system describe pod tiller-deploy-6b985bb7b-88ssk 

Then, you can root cause more effectively. Same if you want to try to delete the pod to get past it temporarily.
