title: deployment fails to recreate a successful replicaset
body: <p>We are using Kubernetes 1.8 to deploy our software in a cloud provider. Frequently, when deploying a specific pod-template, the deployment fails to create a successful replicaset and no instance is created. I am not able to find a better description than kubectl describe deploy.</p>
