envsubst < ./kubernetes/pre-production/aks.yaml | kubectl apply -f -

I\'m getting the following erro

Answer 1

You need to add selector in spec of Deployment.

And also, these selector should match with labels in PodTemplate.

apiVersion: apps/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: moverick-mule-pre
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: moverick-mule-pre
      commit: $CI_COMMIT_SHA
  strategy:
    type: RollingUpdate
    rollingUpdate:
      maxSurge: 1
      maxUnavailable: 1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: moverick-mule-pre
        commit: $CI_COMMIT_SHA

Otherwise, you will get error like below

The Deployment "moverick-mule-pre" is invalid:

• spec.selector: Required value
• spec.template.metadata.labels: Invalid value: map[string]string{...} selector does not match template labels

Answer 2

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: backend-security-deployment
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: backend-security
  template:
    metadata:
      labels: # labels to select/identify the deployment
        app: backend-security
    spec:     # pod spec                  
      containers: 
      - name: backend-security
        image: yurifull/backend-security:v1.0.0 # image we pushed
        ports:
        - containerPort: 3001

this works for me...
