error upgrading CAPI components: unable to upgrade CAPI components: deployment "capp-controller-manager" is not ready after 10m0s: failed to connect to the management cluster: context deadline exceeded

This clearly points to connectivity issues between the VM (or nodes) and the management cluster, typically caused by registry communication issues in air-gapped or private environments. When the VM cannot connect to the registry to pull required images or configuration, the CAPI (Cluster API) components cannot be initialized, causing a timeout.
