What are common reasons of Kubernetes Pods getting stuck in “Pending” state? How can we debug this issue?

Hi @sobers.dsouza

The main reason a Pod gets stuck in the Pending state is usually related to scheduling issues. This happens when nodes do not have enough resources (CPU or memory) to accommodate the Pod. It could also occur if the Pod has a nodeSelector or nodeAffinity set, and there are no matching nodes available.

There could be other causes as well. The best way to troubleshoot this is by using the kubectl describe pod <pod-name> command to check for detailed information and any error messages that could indicate the cause of the issue.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for replying my query & the given explaination.
