I have deployed ECK in a cluster and the quickstart has stayed in the "ApplyingChanges" phase and the quickstart pods are like this: NAMESPACE NAME HEALTH NODES VERSION PHASE AGE monitoring quickstart unknown 8.3.1 ApplyingChanges 98m NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE monitoring quickstart-es-default-0 0/1 Init:0/3 0 26s monitoring quickstart-es-default-1 0/1 Init:0/3 0 26s monitoring quickstart-es-default-2 0/1 Init:0/3 0 28s ---

Good morning Michel, first of all thank you for the answer. I have three pods deployed from quickstart, so it looks like one on each worker, doing a describe on each shows the following: Normal Scheduled 8s default-scheduler Successfully assigned monitoring/quickstart-es-default-2 to worker3 `Normal Scheduled 32s default-scheduler Successfully assigned monitoring/quickstart-es-default-0 to worker1``Normal Scheduled 7s default-scheduler Successfully assigned monitoring/quickstart-es-default-1 to worker2` ---

My question was more about the number of init containers than the number of Pods. Could you run the following command please? ```auto kubectl get pod/quickstart-es-default-0 -o jsonpath='{ .spec.initContainers[*].command }' ``` ---

Phase is still `Pending`, also the Pod does not seem to have a `podIP`, this may prevent the operator from generating the certificates, and consequently also prevent the Pod from starting. Could you double check the `podIP` by running `kubectl get pod/quickstart-es-default-0 -o wide` Could you also: - Get the containers logs (if any): `kubectl logs --all-containers pod/quickstart-es-default-0` - Check if there is any error in the [operator logs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-troubleshooting-methods.html#k8s-get-eck-logs) - Check if there is anything wrong in the [K8S events](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-troubleshooting-methods.html#k8s-get-k8s-events). ---
