Which Kubernetes apiVersion Should I Use?
An object definition in Kubernetes requires an apiVersion field. When Kubernetes has a release that updates what is available for you to use—changes something in its API—a new apiVersion is created.
However, the official Kubernetes documentation provides little guidance on apiVersion. This guide gives you a cheat sheet on which version to use, explains each version, and gives you the timeline of releases.
