Kubernetes version

$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"13", GitVersion:"v1.13.0", GitCommit:"ddf47ac13c1a9483ea035a79cd7c10005ff21a6d", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-12-03T21:04:45Z", GoVersion:"go1.11.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"10+", GitVersion:"v1.10.11-eks", GitCommit:"6bf27214b7e3e1e47dce27dcbd73ee1b27adadd0", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-12-04T13:33:10Z", GoVersion:"go1.9.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

I installed using instructions from https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl - i.e. in my Ubuntu Desktop:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y kubectl

Environment:

• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: AWS EKS

What happened:

When using kubectl v1.13.0 I cannot describe hpa:

$ kubectl describe hpa my-hpa
Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource

I tried kubectl describe HorizontalPodAutoscaler talentdesk as well, same issue.

What you expected to happen:

Before I upgraded kubectl to v1.13 , I had v1.10 and it worked ok.

$ kubectl describe hpa my-hpa
Name:                                                  my-hpa
Namespace:                                             default
Labels:                                                <none>
Annotations:                                           kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration={"apiVersion":"autoscaling/v2beta1","kind":"HorizontalPodAutoscaler","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"my-hpa","namespace":"default"},"spec":{"...
...

Anything else we need to know:

My HPA manifests use apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta1:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta1
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
...

I noticed the hpa documentation mentions v2beta2 but I’m using v2beta1 - I tried to upgrade my manifest but kubernetes v1.10 doesn’t support v2beta2 - this is the error I get:

$ kubectl apply -f my-hpa.yaml
error: unable to recognize "my-hpa.yaml": no matches for kind "HorizontalPodAutoscaler" in version "autoscaling/v2beta2"

I’m stuck on kubernetes v1.10 for now because AWS EKS doesn’t yet allow upgrades.
