Chapter 6: Failure to apply tigera-operator.yaml

[DanielVukelich]

When running kubectl apply -f tigera-operator.yaml in chapter 6, I receive the following error:

The CustomResourceDefinition "installations.operator.tigera.io" is invalid: metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes

Attempted solutions:
Following the proposed solution at projectcalico/calico#6491, I ran kubectl create -f tigera-operator.yaml. That didn't quite work, as it complained that certain configurations already existed. I expect that this command might have worked if I did not already run the kubectl apply command previously.

Actual solution:
I used the other proposed command: kubectl replace -f tigera-operator.yaml. This succeeded and I saw all the kubernetes nodes enter a "Ready" status within a few minutes.
