The e2e test is currently flaky when running on OCP clusters, primarily due to the very rapid check for sample pod creation. This leads to intermittent failures, such as:

[FAILED] No pods found in dual-stack namespace
  Expected
      <[]v1.Pod | len:0, cap:0>: nil
  not to be empty 

The test is checking for the existence of pods too quickly after initiating their creation, which doesn't give the system enough time to start the pods—especially in clusters with variable performance characteristics.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The e2e test no longer fails intermittently due to pod creation timing.
