For my future self - don't try and use crictl to deploy pods into an existing Kubernetes cluster

I'm doing some work with the Kata Containers v2 runtime, and was trying to test it using crictl 

First I created a pair of YAML documents: -

and then I used the first of those to create a Pod Sandbox: -

sandbox=$(crictl runp -r kata podsandbox-config.yaml)

However, the resulting pod soon disappeared - I managed to check its state before it disappeared: -

crictl pods | grep kata

9fafade8c3216       23 seconds ago      NotReady            busybox-sandbox                                  default             1                   kata

65fc059b8129d       40 minutes ago      Ready               nginx-kata                                       default             0                   kata

and inspected the NotReady pod: -

crictl inspectp 9fafade8c3216 | jq .status.state

"SANDBOX_NOTREADY"
