I have some previously run pods that I think were killed by Kubernetes for OOM or DEADLINE EXCEEDED, what's the most reliable way to confirm that? Especially if the pods weren't recent.

kubectl kubernetes

If the pod has already been deleted, you can also check kubernetes events and see what's going on:

$ kubectl get events

LAST SEEN   FIRST SEEN   COUNT    NAME                                               KIND                      SUBOBJECT                                     TYPE      REASON                SOURCE    MESSAGE
