open5gs installation with AWS EKS - Control plane pods are not coming , they are in init state - help needed

Hi

Facing issue in the last step at Helm Deployment:

Install Helm chart with the following command:
helm -n open5gs install -f values.yaml epc-core ./

[[ec2-user@ip-10-0-0-14 x86-Architecture]$ kubectl get -n open5gs pods

Completed all the install steps Following this link to install:https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/open-source-mobile-core-network-implementation-on-amazon-elastic-kubernetes-service/

1. Run the CloudFormation for infra creation (open5gs-infra.yaml).
2. Bastion host configuration and K8s ConfigMap update.
3. DocumentDB initialization.
4. CoreDNS ConfigMap update to use Route 53 for 3GPP service interfaces.
5. Run the CloudFormation for Multus worker node group creation (open5gs-worker.yaml).
6. DNS controller and Multus-IP update controller deployment for the automation.
7. Run shell script for cluster initialization (setting up namespace, etc.).
8. Helm installation for all network functions.

Start with values.yaml and the Helm deployment command, then inspect the init-smf container in the kubectl describe output. Check whether the gx.pcrf.open5gs.service and sx.upf.open5gs.service DNS lookups become ready, and compare the other control-plane init containers. Done means the init containers complete and the control-plane pods become Ready.
