Hi

I am trying to apply the Elasticsearch Docker image. I am trying to use the instructions defined here:

> **[Deploy an Elasticsearch cluster | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes \[1.2\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-deploy-elasticsearch.html)**

When I run an "kubectl apply -f" on the yaml, I get an error:

`error: unable to recognize "test.yaml": no matches for kind "Elasticsearch" in version "elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1"`

I am doing this on Google Cloud running 1.14.10-gke.50.

Hi @jdevilla20

Question did you apply the actual operator as the first step?

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-deploy-eck.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-deploy-eck.html)

Also it typically helps if you post your yml so we can take a look. If you do please format it with the `</>` button above
