Pixie integration: pods stuck in pending state

Problem

You have completed the installation procedure for New Relic's Pixie integration but one or more vizier-pem pods are stuck in the pending state.

Solution

When the vizier-pem pods fail to schedule, this is usually because there are nodes that don't have the requested amount of memory.

Try reducing the memory request down as far as 1Gi. For particularly large or high traffic clusters, 1Gi may not be enough and some vizier-pem OOMKills might occur. For these clusters, you can set a higher limit than request, such as 2Gi for the limit.
