AWS - EKS

You tried to deploy a workload on EKS using kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml, but got an error: error: unable to recognize "deployment.yaml": no matches for kind "Deploy". What is the likely cause?

AThe cluster is not running

Bkubectl is not installed

CThe YAML file has a typo in the kind field; it should be 'Deployment' not 'Deploy'

DThe image name in the YAML is incorrect

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the error message
The error says no matches for kind "Deploy", which means Kubernetes does not recognize this resource kind.
Step 2: Check the YAML kind field
The correct kind for workload deployment is "Deployment", not "Deploy". This typo causes the error.
Final Answer:
The YAML file has a typo in the kind field; it should be 'Deployment' not 'Deploy' -> Option C
Quick Check:
Kind field must be exact Kubernetes resource name [OK]

Quick Trick: Check resource kind spelling in YAML for errors [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Ignoring error details about resource kind
Assuming cluster or kubectl issues without checking YAML
Blaming image name for syntax errors
