问题
Pod containers are not ready and stuck under Waiting state over and over every single time after they run sh commands (/bin/sh as well). As example all pod's containers seen at https://v1-17.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-pod-configmap/#define-container-environment-variables-with-data-from-multiple-configmaps they just go on "Complete" status after executing the sh command, or if I set "restartPolicy: Always" they have the "Waiting" state for the reason CrashLoopBackOff. (Containers work fine if I do not set any command on them. If I use the sh command within container, after creating them I can read using "kubectl logs" the env variable was set correctly.
The expected behaviour is to get pod's containers running after they execute the sh command.
I cannot find references regarding this particular problem and I need little help if possible, thank you very much in advance!
Please disregard I tried different images, the problem happens either way.

This happens because the process in the container you are running has completed and the container shuts down, and so kubernetes marks the pod as completed.
If the command that is defined in the docker image as part of CMD, or if you've added your own command as you have done, then the container shuts down after the command completed. It's the same reason why when you run Ubuntu using plain docker, it starts up then shuts down directly afterwards.
For pods, and their underlying docker container to continue running, you need to start a process that will continue running. In your case, running the env command completes right away.
If you set the pod to restart Always, then kubernetes will keep trying to restart it until it's reached it's back off threshold.
One off commands like you're running are useful for utility type things. I.e. do one thing then get rid of the pod.
For example:
kubectl run tester --generator run-pod/v1 --image alpine --restart Never --rm -it -- /bin/sh -c env
To run something longer, start a process that continues running.
For example:
kubectl run tester --generator run-pod/v1 --image alpine -- /bin/sh -c "sleep 30"
That command will run for 30 seconds, and so the pod will also run for 30 seconds. It will also use the default restart policy of Always. So after 30 seconds the process completes, Kubernetes marks the pod as complete, and then restarts it to do the same things again.
Generally pods will start a long running process, like a web server. For Kubernetes to know if that pod is healthy, so it can do it's high availability magic and restart it if it cashes, it can use readiness and liveness probes.

You can use this manifest; The command ["/bin/sh", "-c"] says "run a shell, and execute the following instructions". The args are then passed as commands to the shell. Multiline args make it simple and easy to read. Your pod will display its environment variables and also start the NGINX process without stopping:
