Hello,  
We are using Everest version 1.6.0 installed on VMware with Kubernetes version 1.32.2.  
When creating a MySQL instance, the Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) is successfully deployed, but HAProxy fails to start due to the following errors:

```auto
[root@BENLBY-TEST-MYSQL ~]kubectl -n everest get events | grep mysql-db1 | grep -i errrr
9m50s Warning Unhealthy pod/mysql-db1-haproxy-0 Readiness probe failed: ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 2
14m Warning Unhealthy pod/mysql-db1-haproxy-0 (combined from similar events): Readiness probe failed: ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 2

```

As a result, the HAProxy component fails to initialize.  
What can we do to resolve this issue?
