For some reason I am unable to start MySQL database in Percona Everest. I am however able to start other databases i.e. MongoDB and PostgreSQL.

I have tried with 1 node and 3 nodes and neither works.

These are all the pods in the namespace.

I have added all the logs file in this repo due to character limit:

@Muhammad_Hur do you think we can jump into a call with you to check what is going on? I would be curious to learn about your use case and see if we can do a live debuggin with you.

Looking at the logs I see liveness probe is failing, but it should automatically resolve. So need a bit deeper look.
