KA-R011: Selector/template label mismatch
Error Reliability
Why This Matters
The resource has a mismatch between spec.selector.matchLabels and spec.template.metadata.labels. Every label in the selector must exist with the same value in the pod template labels. A mismatch causes the controller to fail to manage its pods, and Kubernetes will reject the resource at creation time.
How to Fix
Ensure all selector matchLabels appear in the template metadata labels
