Start Kubernetes 1.18 instance on Katacoda, for example a sandbox here

Following the install procedure at https://operatorhub.io/operator/redis-enterprise, steps to reproduce:

curl -sL https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-lifecycle-manager/releases/download/v0.18.1/install.sh | bash -s v0.18.1

kubectl create -f https://operatorhub.io/install/redis-enterprise.yaml

kubectl logs -n operators redis-enterprise-operator-xxxxx...

Hi @javajon the deployment at https://operatorhub.io/operator/redis-enterprise is olds and no longer supported. For deployment steps please follow the latest version here: https://github.com/RedisLabs/redis-enterprise-k8s-docs/blob/master/README.md

@javajon please let me know if you need further assistance

I tripped on the rug at the entrance. Shouldn't the published and public instructions at both operatorhub and artifacthub be the latest? Perhaps, until it's ready, the redis-enterprise might be removed from those sites if the instructions are not valid? Perhaps the top of the pages should point us to the valid instructions?

I agree with @javajon. If the operator is deprecated on OperatorHub, it should be removed. I'd prefer the operator be updated to work on OperatorHub.
