What happened:
I am not able to create SparkApplications on the Kubernetes cluster using SparkKubernetesOperator from Airflow DAG. I have hosted Airflow and Spark-operator on EKS. I have created a connection on Airflow to connect to the Kubernetes cluster by using &quot;in cluster configuration&quot;.
I am just running the sample application just to check the execution of spark on Kubernetes through Airflow.</p>

<p>What you expected to happen:
Kubernetes Airflow should schedule and run spark job using SparkKubernetesOperator.</p>
<p>How to reproduce it:
Deploy Spark operator using helm on Kubernetes cluster.
Deploy Airflow using helm on Kubernetes cluster.
Deploy the above-mentioned application and Airflow DAG.</p>
<p>Anything else we need to know:-</p>
<p>I have already created service account:-</p>
<pre><code>$ kubectl create serviceaccount spark
</code></pre>
<p>Given the service account the edit role on the cluster:-</p>
<pre><code>$ kubectl create clusterrolebinding spark-role --clusterrole=edit --serviceaccount=airflow:airflow-cluster --namespace=spark-apps
</code></pre>
