azure devops release pipeline keeps failing at kubectl apply?

5/30/2019

In azure devops portal, my release pipeline keeps failing at kubectl apply.It says the server could not find the requested resource.

NOTE: I haven't created a kubernetes clusture in azure portal yet.so when I went to the portal to create one, it is asking for paid subscription.

logs of the release pipeline

Tomcat.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: tomcat-deployment
  labels:
    app: tomcat
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: tomcat
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: tomcat
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: tomcat
        image: suji165475/devops-sample:113
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

---

kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: tomcat-service
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    app: tomcat
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 80
    targetPort: 80

why is the server saying that it couldn't find the requested resource even though I have made sure that I created the build artifact(containing tomcat.yaml in drop folder) properly from the build ci pipeline?? Could this be due to the fact that I havent created the kubernetes clusture yet or is this due to some other reason??

also would using nodeport instead of LoadBalancer work on azure devops??

I'm fairly certain if you are using local kubernetes cluster and given this error - the issue is with the fact that Azure Devops cant reach you kubernetes cluster. You should make sure your cluster is exposed on a certain IP and ports are not blocked.
