The Deployment myweb-rs is invalid spec template metadata labels Invalid value map string string name mysql selector does not match template labels

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create deployment resource in minikube cluster. But it is showing me the below error.

$ kubectl create -f dep_mysql.yml
The Deployment "myweb-rs" is invalid: spec.template.metadata.labels: Invalid value: map[string]string{"name":"mysql"}: `selector` does not match template `labels`

How can I solve this?

Hi@akhtar,

I think, there may be a mismatch in labels. Make sure you have written the same labels for your deployment as well as Pod. When you create one deployment, internally these labels connects to pod labels and launch the containers.
