Hi we have 4 node AKS cluster with 4vcpu and 16 GB RAM for each node out of which one node is tainted to run specific pods. we are getting the below message when to try deploy the pods. But when we check cpu and ram consumption of the nodes it is in acceptable range.

    Are you seeing that max pod limit reached! kubectl get nodes -o yaml | grep pods
    What is the limit? The command shows the pod count, that can be allocated to each nodes

    How many are running?
    kubectl get pods --all-namespaces | grep Running | wc -l

    A taint is applied to a node that indicates only specific pods can be scheduled on them. A toleration is then applied to a pod that allows them to tolerate a node's taint. The Kubernetes scheduler can use taints and tolerations to restrict what workloads can run on nodes.
    You can find if the node has applied with taint by running the command below: 

    kubectl describe node <node name> | grep Taints

    However, You can't change node taints through the CLI after the node pool is created.:
    Here is a thread discussing on this: https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues/1402

    You may plan for a fresh new nodepool in this situation
