I went through the quickstart and successfully deployed elasticsearch and kibana on EKS using the ECK operator. I then followed the directions in the docs to [allow public access](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/2.9/k8s-services.html#k8s-allow-public-access).
However, the ECK Operator keeps throwing the error below. Why is it doing this?

Turns out I could not have the aws-load-balancer-controller operator installed - once I uninstalled that, it worked.
