I followed this link to install camunda helm chart locally with KIND. After port forwarding for Operate and Tasklist, I found that I was able to access tasklist, but not Operate. Here is the error message I saw:

kubectl port-forward svc/c8-operate  8081:80

Any help is appreicated!

Hey @AdrianaH

please verify first via kubectl get pods whether all pods are ready and running. It is likely to fail if for example elastic or operate is not up yet and you try to access the component.
