+### My runner Pod disappears / gets killed after only a few seconds

+If your parent is part of a Deployment, make sure your FLAME runner Pod doesn't
+contain the labels you used as selectors (i.e. `.spec.selector` on your
+Deployment). Otherwise the replica controller sees your FLAME runner as an
+additional Pod to the Deployment's ReplicaSet and "downscales" the deployment to
+the desired replica count (i.e. snipes your runner Pod).
