Prerequisites

• Prepare a Kubernetes cluster (Kubernetes version >= 1.16).
• Install kubectl (v1.16 or above), compatible with your cluster (+/- 1 minor release from your cluster).
• Install Helm (v3.0.2 or above).

​

Create a namespace

1. Create a Kubernetes namespace where the operator will be installed later.
   kubectl create namespace operators
   

​
