Bazel failed to deploy sample k8s deployment (deployment.yaml) file in k8s tenant.

I followed the link https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_k8s#aliasing-eg-k8s_deploy and tried one sample deployment.yaml file to deploy the application in k8s tenant. I have one k8s tenant already configured in the build machine. To deploy the application I executed:

bazel run //main:dev.create

But the bazel command is failing with below error:

[root@localhost t2]# bazel  run //main:dev.create <br/>
