This is a short blog post about changes in the new Kubernetes deployment definition.
In my older blog posts related to Kubernetes you will find older deployment definitions, these definitions will cause errors during the Kubernetes deployment. Here are the two major problems you maybe will notice:
1. If you get the following error
error: unable to recognize "deployment.yaml":
no matches forkind "Deployment"in version "apps/v1beta1"
Please change the entry apps/v1beta1 to apps/v1 in the deployment.yaml file, the newer `deployment definition` for Kubernetes v1.16.8 (v1.18).
Note: Additional useful blog post here.
2. If you get this error
error: error validating "deployment.yaml": error validating data: ValidationError(Deployment.spec): missing required field "selector"in io.k8s.api.apps.v1.DeploymentSpec; #if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false
You need to insert in the deployment specification the statement selector:matchLabels:name:authors, as you see in the table below.
The table contains an example of the major changes in the deployment specification, the left hand side contains the new Kubernetes deployment definition and right hand side includes the older definition. The `selector` is now required.

I hope this was useful for you and let’s see what’s next?
