Unresolved Application reference in Service

Services connect Kubernetes applications. Label selectors are used to associating Pods with Services. This validator detects a condition when no application is associated with a Service. It usually indicates a naming error in workload or Service labels.

Affected Resources: Service

Examples

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: my-app-service
spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  selector:
    foo: bar                # label-value not found

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-app
  labels:
    foo: not-bar            # different in the Service

Resolution

Identify which application should the Service refer to.

Make correction to the labels on the workload or the Service.
