Question

Pods stuck in pending state despite abundance of resources

Posted May 15, 2021 213 views
DigitalOcean Managed Kubernetes

Reposting from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67542665/kubernetes-pod-stuck-pending-but-lacks-events-that-tell-me-why

I have a simple alpine:node kubernetes pod attempting to start from a deployment on a cluster with a large surplus of resources on every node. It’s failing to move out of the pending status. When I run kubectl describe, I get no events that explain why this is happening. What are the next steps for debugging a problem like this?

Here are some commands:

kubectl get events

I use loft virtual clusters, so the above commands were run in a virtual cluster context, where this pod’s deployment is the only resource. When run from the main cluster itself:

kubectl describe nodes

Hi there,

I think that this could be due to the host port that you’ve defined in your template.

I could suggest removing the host port from the template and give it another try.

If this is not the case, feel free to share your yaml template here so that I could have another look.

Regards,
Bobby
