<p>I'm using K8S <code>1.14</code> and Helm <code>3.3.1</code>.</p>
<p>I have an app which <strong>works when deployed without probes</strong>. Then I set two trivial probes:</p>
<pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>          livenessProbe:
            exec:
              command:
                - ls
                - /mnt
            initialDelaySeconds: 5
            periodSeconds: 5

          readinessProbe:
            exec:
              command:
                - ls
                - /mnt
            initialDelaySeconds: 5
            periodSeconds: 5
</code></pre>
<p>When I deploy via <code>helm upgrade</code>, the command eventually (~5 mins) fails with:</p>
<pre><code>Error: UPGRADE FAILED: release my-app failed, and has been rolled back due to atomic being set: timed out waiting for the condition
</code></pre>
<p>But in the events log there is no trace of any probe:</p>

<p>Hence the question: what are the probes doing and where?</p>

<p>Try deleting the helm then re-apply it again: <code>helm del --purge &lt;APPNAME&gt;</code>
Also which helm version are you using? Try upgrading to <code>v3.2.1</code>, there's an open issue that tries to fix this incident with previously failed upgrades: <a href="https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/5939" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/5939</a></p>
