See, for example, the thread at https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,290205 In short: stock nginx does not care if the upstream service (the pod) is running or not; but it does care that whatever hostname you use in the "upstream" section resolves to an IP address at nginx-start time.

"exist" should not matter. "can resolve dns" does matter.
