I made a simple config to pull the chart from [https://ansible.github.io/awx-operator/](https://ansible.github.io/awx-operator/)

I’m not seeing any errors but nothing progresses beyond this. What else am I missing?

I’ll add same thing happens with

helm install my-awx-operator awx-operator/awx-operator -n awx --create-namespace

in my local setup.

that installs the operator, but then you’ll need to create the AWX resource itself with “kubectl apply -f awx-demo.yml”
