Understanding Kubernetes Pod Pending Problems

Kubernetes pod pending is ubiquitous in every cluster, even in different levels of maturity.

If you ask any random DevOps engineer using Kubernetes to identify the most common error that torments their nightmares, a deployment with pending pods is near the top of their list (maybe only second to CrashLoopBackOff).

Trying to push an update and seeing it stuck can make DevOps nervous. Even when the solution is fairly easy, finding the cause of a pod pending and understanding the changes you need to apply can be important (Kubernetes troubleshooting is rarely trivial).

In this article, we cast some light on the different situations that cause this issue, allowing DevOps teams to find the solution quickly and, best of all, avoid it as much as possible.
