I would request if someone can help in why my release pipeline to AKS cluster is failing. I'm using Azure Devops Release pipeline.

My aksdeploy.yml file is at https://github.com/praneshshzl/AKSCICDDEMO/blob/master/aksdeploy.yml
My image to deploy is a docker hub image based on windows at https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/praneshhzl/drop
Looks like this was something to do in the kubectl apply task in release pipeline. We have to go to right pane, scroll down, expand "advanced" and in version spec check the box "check for latest version". My pipeline built completed successfully. There was no issues in my deployment yaml.
Enabling this option ensures proper latest version of kubectl.exe is downloaded onto the VSTS agent
