Kubectl apply -f mongo-secret.yaml is not creating the secret inside my config file

Question

When I run the below command,

Kubectl apply -f mongo-secret.yaml 

I'm thrown the following error,

Below is the Secret configuration I used,

apiVersion: v1
kind: secret
metadata:
  name: mongodb-secret
type: opaque
data:
  mongo-root-username: dXNlcm5hbWU=
  mongo-root-password: cGFzc3dvcmQ=

Answer 1

Use Secret instead of secret in the kind field.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mongodb-secret
type: opaque
data:
  mongo-root-username: dXNlcm5hbWU=
  mongo-root-password: cGFzc3dvcmQ=
