KA-S007: Missing metadata.name

Error Schema

Why This Matters

Every Kubernetes resource must have a metadata.name field. This is the unique identifier for the resource within its namespace.

How to Fix

Add a metadata.name field to the resource.

Before (incorrect)

apiVersion: v1

metadata:
  labels:
    app: test

After (correct)

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: my-config
  labels:
    app: test
