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

<p>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.</p>

<p>logs of the release pipeline</p>

<p>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??</p>

<p>also would using nodeport instead of LoadBalancer work on azure devops??</p>

<p>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.</p>
