Issue

• The deployer fails to deploy the application, because of failing to delete containers.

12m          12m            1      {kubelet lpdospea00126.phx.aexp.com}    implicitly required container POD      Started                Started with docker
FailedSync                          Error syncing pod, skipping: failed to delete containers ([exit status 1])

• Pods stuck in Error, Terminating, or DeadlineExceeded state prevent scaling up of application
