Hi,

I’m trying to deploy AWX operator on GKE autopilot, following this instructions: [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/devel/.helm/starter/README.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/devel/.helm/starter/README.md).

The operator gets deployment, however when I create a new AWX instace, the operator keeps restarting due to a CrashLoopBackOff.

The logs from AWX operator seems to give no hints about the problem:

Any ideas?

can you try `kubectl logs -p` to get the log from the previously crashed container
