Hi ppl!

I have an ECK at my GKE cluster. But I need to install another ECK to test some things before upgrade the first one.

Is it possible to run 2 ECK, with differente version, in the same k8s cluster?

Hi @legoguy1000 !  
Thanks for your kind reply.

As long as I see at ECK documentation, there are 2 ways to install the cluster:

- Cluster-wide (global) installation
- Restricted installation

Here, the current ECK install is running a ECK v2.1.0 but I can't figure out if it is a cluster-wide or restricted.

Is there a way to view this info?

My concern is to install a new ECK and end up impacting the older ECK because of this global (cluster-wide) ECK management.

I may have misunderstood. I originally read this as 2 different Elastic Clusters created by ECK. The answer is absolutely. If u mean to 2 ECK operators, potentially but i'm not sure the best way to do that.
