Hi Folks,

I am trying to install AWX instance using helm, upgrading my awx-operator:

1. Installed awx-operator:  
==\> helm install -n awx my-awx-operator awx-operator/awx-operator
2. Upgarding the myawx-operator to install AWX instance:  
==\> cat awx-operator/new-value.yaml  
AWX:  
enabled: true  
name: awx-demo  
namespace: awx  
spec:  
**hostNetwork: true**  
service\_type: nodeport  
ingress\_type: ingress  
ingress\_annotations: |  
[kubernetes.io/ingress.class:](http://kubernetes.io/ingress.class:) gce-internal  
==\> helm upgrade -n awx my-awx-operator awx-operator/awx-operator -f awx-operator/new-value.yaml  
Error: UPGRADE FAILED: error validating “”: error validating data: ValidationError(AWX.spec): unknown field “ **hostNetwork** ” in com.ansible.awx.v1beta1.AWX.spec

Can anyone please help me how to install AWX instance in my host/node Network?

Thanks & Regards,
