I was following as per quickstart summary of : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-deploy-elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-deploy-elasticsearch.html)  
But when i start , I'm getting below error

```auto
0/1 nodes are available: 1 Insufficient memory.
0/1 nodes are available: 1 pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims.

```

I've tried to follow the [manage compute resources](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-managing-compute-resources.html) and have put as 2GB.

Anyone faced the issue? Any idea to run ECK based cluster with a genuine example?

How many free memory you have on your K8S cluster?  
Are you trying to install ECK on minikube? existing cluster?  
Can you add how you limited the resources in the Yaml file?

Figured out the problem.  
It was resource contention problem at "minikube" level (and not at the nodes/cluster level). So allocated enough memory to ensure all the deployments work.

```auto
# had to delete and create again
minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox --cpus 8 --memory 16384

```
