<p>We have a private GKE 3 node cluster with 2 vCPU and 8 GB RAM node pool config. We have installed Vault with helm using these <a href="https://github.com/shan0809/hashicorp-vault/blob/main/values.yaml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">values</a>.</p>

<p>We referred to this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66766180/hashicorp-vault-pods-with-pending-status">article</a> but no fate.</p>
<p>Please let me know what else info is needed</p>

<p>i think it's due the <strong>affinity</strong> that is inplace in <strong>values.yaml</strong></p>
<p>You can try adding the one more node to cluster and check once it will resolve the issue maybe.</p>
<p>it also giving error of <strong>insuffient CPU</strong> so could be one more reason behind the POD stuck in pending state.</p>
<p>Adding one more node will increase the CPU also you can check if there is any affinity issues or not.</p>
