How to Troubleshoot Kubernetes Pods That Are Evicted for Disk Pressure

Kubernetes may evict pods when node storage is under pressure from container layers, logs, ephemeral data, or images. Repeated eviction can disrupt unrelated workloads.

What to check

Inspect node conditions, ephemeral storage requests and limits, image usage, log volume, and pod events. Check cleanup behavior and whether workloads write large temporary files.

Recommended next step

Reduce unnecessary disk use and set realistic resource requests, then monitor node pressure. Informatix Systems can troubleshoot Kubernetes capacity and operations.
