Why
Often we get in a situation where the helm chart can't be deployed because the previous deployment is in a pending state.
There is not a clear way of how to handle this. However we need to tell ppl how to investigate it.
for the last week all deployments failed because there was a deployment in pending state for 1 week.
What
exit the deployment early if there is a deployment in pending-state and include in stdout help on how to debug it.
How was this tested
I pushed the system into an unstable state and the error message printed out:https://gitlab.com/vmware-analytics/versatile-data-kit/-/jobs/4348854403
I also tested when the system is in a stable state and it all looks good
