Kubernetes Conditions.Ready and ContainersReady are false

I am using a bare metal installation of Kubernetes. All of my pods are running (both default and namespaced). When I run my application, it fails. No error is given, but upon inspection of kubectl describe , I noticed that Conditions.Ready and Conditions.ContainersReady are both false.

Conditions:
  Type              Status
  Initialized       True
  Ready             False
  ContainersReady   False
  PodScheduled      True

I cannot understand the fix suggested here (https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues/1472) or even if this is the same error as Conditions.ContainersReady is true for them. What is the fix?
