You may get the following message while creating the WebLogic domain: "the job status is not Completed!"
status on iteration 20 of 20
pod domain1-create-weblogic-sample-domain-job-nj7wl status is Init:0/1
The create domain job is not showing status completed after waiting 300 seconds.
Check the log output for errors.

Here are some common reasons for this failure, along with some tips to help you investigate.
Create WebLogic domain job fails
Check the deploy log and find the failure details with kubectl describe pod podname.
Please go Getting pod error details.
Process of starting the servers is still running
Check with kubectl get svc and if domainUID-admin-server, domainUID-managed-server1, and domainUID-managed-server2 are not listed,
we need to wait some more for the Administration Server to start.
The following output is an example of when the Administration Server has started.
$ kubectl get svc

If services are up but the WLS Administration Console is still not available, use kubectl describe domain to check domain status.
$ kubectl describe domain domain1
Make sure the status of cluster-1 is ServersReady and Available. The status of admin-server, managed-server1, and managed-server2 should be RUNNING. Otherwise, the cluster is likely still in the process of becoming fully ready.
For some suggestions for debugging problems with Model in Image after your Domain YAML file is deployed, see Debugging.
If you are running with WSL2, you may run into the bad timestamp issue, which blocks Azure CLI. You may see the following error:
$ kubectl get pod
Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid: current time 2020-11-25T15:58:10+08:00 is before 2020-11-27T04:25:04Z
You can run the following command to update WSL2 system time:
# Fix the outdated systime time
$ sudo hwclock -s
# Check systime time

You may run into a timeout while installing the operator and get the following error:
$ helm install weblogic-operator weblogic-operator/weblogic-operator \
--namespace sample-weblogic-operator-ns \
--set serviceAccount=sample-weblogic-operator-sa \
--wait
Error: timed out waiting for the condition
Make sure you are working with the main branch. Remove the operator and install again.
$ helm uninstall weblogic-operator -n sample-weblogic-operator-ns
release "weblogic-operator" uninstalled
Check out main and install the operator.
$ cd weblogic-kubernetes-operator
$ git checkout main
$ helm install weblogic-operator weblogic-operator/weblogic-operator \
--namespace sample-weblogic-operator-ns \
--set serviceAccount=sample-weblogic-operator-sa \
--wait
If your version of WIT is older than 1.9.8, you will get an error running ./imagetool/bin/imagetool.sh if the Docker buildkit is enabled.
Here is the warning message shown:
failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: failed to parse stage name "WDT_BUILD": invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase
To resolve the error, either upgrade to a newer version of WIT or disable the Docker buildkit with the following commands and run the imagetool command again.
$ export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0
$ export COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=0
Currently, we meet two cases that block the operator installation:
Follow these steps to dig into the error.
If system pods in the AKS cluster are pending, it will block the operator installation.
This is an error example with warning message no nodes available to schedule pods.

If you got an error of ErrImagePull from pod status, use docker pull to check the operator image. If an error occurs, you can switch to a version that is greater than 3.1.1.

If you’re unable to create an ACR and you’re using a service principal, you can use manual Role Assignments to grant access to the ACR as described in Azure Container Registry authentication with service principals.
First, find the objectId of the service principal used when the AKS cluster was created. You will need the output from az ad sp create-for-rbac, which you were directed to save to a file. Within the output, you need the value of the name property. It will start with http. Get the objectId with this command.
$ az ad sp show --id http://<your-name-from-the-saved-output> | grep objectId
"objectId": "nror4p30-qnoq-4129-o89r-p60n71805npp",
Next, assign the acrpull role to that service principal with this command.
$ az role assignment create --assignee-object-id <your-objectId-from-above> --scope $AKS_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP --role acrpull
{
"canDelegate": null,
"condition": null,
...
"type": "Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments"
}
After you do this, re-try the command that gave the error.
If you run into the following error when creating the AKS cluster, please use an available VM size in the region.
$ az aks create \
--resource-group $AKS_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP \
--name $AKS_CLUSTER_NAME \
--node-count 2 \
--generate-ssh-keys \
--nodepool-name nodepool1 \
--node-vm-size Standard_DS2_v2 \
--location $AKS_PERS_LOCATION \
--service-principal $SP_APP_ID \
--client-secret $SP_CLIENT_SECRET
BadRequestError: Operation failed with status: 'Bad Request'. Details: Virtual Machine size: 'Standard_DS2_v2' is not supported for subscription subscription-id in location 'eastus'. The available VM sizes are 'basic_a0,basic_a1,basic_a2,basic_a3,basic_a4,standard_a2'. Please refer to aka.ms/aks-vm-sizes for the details.

As shown in the example, you can use standard_a2; pay attention to the CPU and memory of that size; make sure it meets your memory requirements.
