When there are configuration issues, such as missing required g-flags, nodes can enter a Postgres crash loop. This was observed during a g-flag upgrade when adding the following flags:
The g-flags upgrade failed because one node encountered a Postgres crash loop caused by the absence of the ysql_yb_ash_enable_infra g-flag. Ideally, the node should not enter a crash loop due to such configuration issues.
