What should I look for if I see too many evicted pods? Can anyone guide me?

If you’ve got evicted pods it probably means your nodes don’t have enough resources for them, docs: ([Node-pressure Eviction | Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/node-pressure-eviction/))  
The most common case that I run into this is disk pressure eviction but there is a more informative explanation to the reason behind the eviction if you describe the pod that was evicted;  
`kubectl describe pod <PODNAME> -n <NAMESPACE>`
