[Bug]: Error deploying Argo CD Lab

### Installation method

Workshop Studio

### What happened?

Running the `prepare-environment automation/gitops/argocd` I'm getting timed out errors for some pods:
```
timed out waiting for the condition on pods/catalog-759cdd5598-k5gqk
timed out waiting for the condition on pods/catalog-mysql-0
timed out waiting for the condition on pods/checkout-9cc47f6f4-vw4r4
timed out waiting for the condition on pods/checkout-redis-5df64d4f66-62w9t
timed out waiting for the condition on pods/orders-5c597c5965-ckm6p
timed out waiting for the condition on pods/orders-mysql-5dcdcccbf9-5jvrh
timed out waiting for the condition on pods/ui-68495c748c-s9whs
```

### What did you expect to happen?

Prepare step should run successfully

### How can we reproduce it?

Run the preparation step `prepare-environment automation/gitops/argocd`

### Anything else we need to know?

`carts` and `catalog` pods are in `CrashLoopBackOff`
Also one of the `coredns` in one node is not running

### EKS version

1.29

Start by running `prepare-environment automation/gitops/argocd` in the Workshop Studio setup and inspect the listed pods, including `carts`, `catalog`, and `coredns`. Compare pod events and logs against the EKS 1.29 environment; done means the preparation step completes without pod timeouts or CrashLoopBackOff failures.
