Hello Team,

A customer is attempting to mirror the cluster-kube-descheduler-operator into a disconnected environment.

The operator installs successfully after mirroring. However, when creating a KubeDescheduler custom resource (CR), an image pull error occurs:

After mirror they try to install the operator no issue, but when create KubeDescheduler cr found there is lost a image

```
