k8s deployment failure tgi libpython3.11.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[lucab85]

Deploying the inference-benchmarker on an OpenShift 4.18 cluster fails with [OSError: PermissionError](libpython3.11.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory).

I am using the helm chart with the following extra/k8s/inference-benchmarker/values.yaml:

...
model_id: "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3"
server: tgi
....
tgi:
  enabled: true

I enabled my HF token to access the gated model 'mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3'.

$  helm install inference-benchmarker ./extra/k8s/inference-benchmarker
NAME: inference-benchmarker
