Hi @sathelagopalreddy there are similar issues, have a look: #14424 #17400 #16919

[Ritikaa96]

There are couple of hints already given here :

X podman only has 1775MiB available, less than the required 1800MiB for Kubernetes

X System only has 1775MiB available, less than the required 1800MiB for Kubernetes

X Requested memory allocation 1775MiB is less than the usable minimum of 1800MB

X Requested memory allocation (1775MB) is less than the recommended minimum 1900MB. Deployments may fail.

X The requested memory allocation of 1775MiB does not leave room for system overhead (total system memory: 1775MiB). You may face stability issues.

Suggestion: Start minikube with less memory allocated: 'minikube start --memory=1775mb'
