I am trying to add a StorageClass to a test K8 cluster to then deploy additional services such as Prometheus. I am running into a problem trying to add a StorageClass of standard to link the pv ad pvc's together. I created a local file called ebs-storage.json with the following:

{
  "kind": "StorageClass",
  "apiVersion": "storage.k8s.io/v1beta1",
  "metadata": {
    "name": "standard"
  },
  "provisioner": "kubernetes.io/aws-ebs",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "gp2",
    "zone": "us-west-2a"
  }
}

and then I run:

kubectl create -f ./ebs-storage.json

but this is returning:

Error from server: error when creating "./ebs-storage.json": the server could not find the requested resource

Running on server version 1.4.6 and client 1.3.4. I know I am missing something obvious but have been unable to figure out what
