nodes:
  - role: control-plane
  - role: worker
  - role: worker
  - role: worker
  - role: worker

3. Deploy MinIO Operator with Helm:

helm repo add minio https://operator.min.io/

helm install \
  --namespace minio-operator \
  --create-namespace \
  minio-operator minio/operator

You should get:

$ helm repo add minio https://operator.min.io/
"minio" has been added to your repositories
Cesars-MacBook-Pro:helm cniackz$ helm install \
>   --namespace minio-operator \
>   --create-namespace \
>   minio-operator minio/operator

  kubectl --namespace minio-operator port-forward svc/console 9090:9090
  echo "Visit the Operator Console at http://127.0.0.1:9090"
