Trying to setup elastic cluster using ECK documentation, but it fails and stays in Pending state

```auto
kubectl get pvc -n staging
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
elasticsearch-data-quickstart-es-default-0 Pending elasticsearch 17m

```

WHile doing **kubectl describe pod -n staging quickstart-es-default-0**

```auto
                 node.kubernetes.io/unreachable:NoExecute op=Exists for 300s
Events:

The Quickstart tutorial assumes that you have a default storage class setup. This should be the case on most hosted Kubernetes offerings. I would double check that is the case on your environment. [Volume claim templates | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/master/k8s-volume-claim-templates.html)

You can also describe your PVCs to better understand why they cannot be bound: [Troubleshooting methods | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/master/k8s-troubleshooting-methods.html)

I have the exact same issue. Just for reference I am using Ubuntu's microK8s. After trying to set up a default storage class I will report back here.
