<p>I followed below link to create strimzi cluster operator in k8s</p>

<p>Downloaded strimzi 0.17.0 version and unzip it. I ran 
Kubectl apply -f apply install/cluster-operator . 
I am getting error "Detection of version failed" and it's socket connection timed out.</p>

<p>For work around I have added STRIMZI_KUBERNETES_VERSION in cluster-operator conf file .
Now I am getting "Detection of routes.openshift.io/ API failed . API Will be disabled". </p>

<p>I thought it network policy issue and added to allow all ports. Getting same errors.
...
egress:
- {}
ingress:
- {}</p>

<p>Can anyone please  help me out what I am missing here and how to make it strimzi with debezuim in k8s .</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Im not sure about the error you are getting but installing Strimzi using Helm is painless, I never faced any installation crashes:</p>

<p>Below is for Kafka app:</p>

<pre><code>helm install strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator \
--name my-strimzi-release \
--namespace strimzi \
--version 0.15.0
</code></pre>
