Redpanda chart fails to deploy

[mattfysh]

What happened?

Using the exact same values, redpanda chart fails to deploy via pulumi but succeeds when deployed via Helm directly

Feel free to close this issue if you're unable to recreate. I suspect this is localized to k8s running in Orbstack on mac

@mattfysh would you also be able to provide the error message you obtained from the pulumi up operation? In the future, it'd be extremely helpful if you could also provide the error messages. Thanks!

hi @rquitales - apologies, there is no error message as the chart deployment hangs. more details here: redpanda-data/helm-charts#1564

When the deployment is stuck, the pods look like this:

redpanda-0                          0/2     Init:2/3   0             1s

The redpanda team found what was causing the issue (insufficient memory limit on the 3rd init container) - so it seems to be an issue with orbstack not managing resources: orbstack/orbstack#1520

However, the reason I opened an issue here is because it was almost always happening when trying to deploy the k8s.helm.v3.Release via the Pulumi CLI. If I deployed the exact same chart with exact same values via the Helm CLI, it would typically deploy without hanging

Reproduction repo is here: https://github.com/mattfysh/redpanda-deploy-bug/tree/main/helm

Thanks for the additional information here, and the linked issue. When I attempted to repro this issue (using KinD and Docker), I hit another issue related to tsx/compilation, hence why I wanted to see what error you're facing. I believe @blampe was actually able to repro the same error you mentioned on Orbstack. We'll need to investigate this further to see why Helm CLI works as expected so I'll keep this ticket open.
