As always, this is a feature-rich release with several exciting enhancements. I'm particularly impressed with the new Manage AI Service, which brings significant value.

We attempted to install MAS 9.1, including Manage and all three APM applications — Monitor, Health, and Predict. We encountered a blocking issue during the installation

The installation process failed with the following error:



FAILED! => changed=false


msg: Failed to gather information about IoT(s) even after waiting for 120 seconds


This indicates that the IoT custom resource (CR) failed to reach the "Ready" state, even after 45 retries with a 120-second delay between each attempt — totaling a wait time of over 1.5 hours.


It appears that the installation process was unable to locate several required IoT podTemplate YAML files, resulting in the CR( Custom Resource)  being created without any associated pod specifications. This likely prevented the expected workloads from being deployed.


We would appreciate any guidance or corrective steps to resolve this issue. Please let us know if there are updated podTemplates or configuration changes required for MAS 9.1 IoT deployment.
