HI, I have default container group. when ever job starts on awx, it created new pod and job run. When multiple jobs started at the same time. only one execute and other remain in pending state until the previous completed. How to run multiple jobs in parallel. ---

To check why a Kubernetes pod is in a `Pending` state, the primary tool to use is `kubectl describe pod`. Execute the following command, replacing `POD_NAME` with the actual name of your pending pod and `NAMESPACE` with its namespace if applicable: ```auto kubectl describe pod POD_NAME -n NAMESPACE ``` The output of this command provides detailed information about the pod, including its events. The “Events” section at the bottom is crucial for understanding why the pod is pending. It will often contain messages from the Kubernetes scheduler explaining why the pod cannot be placed on a node. Analyze the “Events” section. Unless you mean you cannot execute multiple jobs of the same template, in which case, this is a configuration option on the job template itself called “Concurrent jobs” which is a checkbox at the bottom.
