title: Istio is not starting up due to insufficient memory in minikube
body: <p>I have setup Minikube on my macbook pro laptop.</p>
  
  <p>Docker Community Edition Version 18.06.1-ce-mac73
  Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
  Istio 1.0.3 release</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ minikube version
  minikube version: v0.30.0
  
  
  $ minikube update-check
  CurrentVersion: v0.30.0
  LatestVersion: v0.30.0
  
  
  $ helm template install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system \
    --set security.enabled=false \
    --set ingress.enabled=false \
    --set gateways.istio-ingressgateway.enabled=false \
    --set gateways.istio-egressgateway.enabled=false \
    --set galley.enabled=false \
    --set sidecarInjectorWebhook.enabled=false \
    --set mixer.enabled=false \
    --set prometheus.enabled=false \
    --set global.proxy.envoyStatsd.enabled=false \
    --set pilot.sidecar=false &gt; $HOME/istio-minimal.yaml
  
  $ kubectl create namespace istio-system
  
  $ kubectl apply -f $HOME/istio-minimal.yaml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I check the pods, only 1 pod (containing pilot) is running.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ kubectl get pods -n istio-system
  NAME                          READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
  istio-pilot-d786445f4-sz9sn   0/1     Pending   0          16m
  </code></pre>
