Kafka topic auto provisioning not working with IB bitnami Kafka image

Bug

Problem

I have a helmrelease for kafka autoprovisioning topics - using bitnami kafka helmchart (the one used in the P1 repo): However, under values.provisioning.image:

provisioning:
  timeout: "900s"
  enabled: true
  image:
    debug: true
  topics:
    - name: topic-name
      partitions: 1
      replicationFactor: 1
  image:
    registry: registry1.dso.mil
    repository: ironbank/bitnami/kafka
    tag: 2.7.0

If I specify the chart to use IB bitnami kafka image 2.7 or 2.8 - as shown above - auto-provisioning will not work.

The default used in the bitnami helmchart for this image is: bitnami/kafka:2.7.0-debian-10-r124

Solution

I have tried playing with the timeouts - I'm unsure why this should be happening.
