## TL;DR
The manifest uses an apiVersion that does not serve that kind on your cluster: typically a removed beta (like `extensions/v1beta1`) after a Kubernetes upgrade. Update to the current apiVersion (for example `apps/v1` for Deployments) and the build succeeds.

## Error
```text
kustomize: no matches for kind in apiVersion
```

## Steps
1. Read the error: it names the kind and the apiVersion that failed. Expected: you know which resource is wrong.
2. Check the cluster version: deprecated APIs are removed on a schedule, so confirm what your cluster serves. Expected: the apiVersion you used is gone.
3. Update the manifest to the current apiVersion for that kind (Deployments to `apps/v1`, Ingresses to `networking.k8s.io/v1`, and so on). Expected: the kind resolves.
4. Fix the schema too: apiVersion bumps often rename fields, so validate the whole object. Expected: no follow-on validation errors.
5. Re-run the kustomize build and apply. Expected: clean build and successful apply.

## When to use
- Kustomize or kubectl fails with "no matches for kind"
- After Kubernetes cluster upgrades
- Old manifests with beta apiVersions

## When not to use
- Kustomize syntax or overlay merge errors (different layer)
- CRDs not installed (install the CRD first)

## Tool compatibility
- Kustomize, kubectl; Kubernetes API deprecation schedule

## Variant phrasings
### extensions v1beta1 no longer served
Move to the GA apiVersion; the beta was removed from the API server.

### no matches for kind Deployment
Use `apps/v1`; the old beta group no longer exists on current clusters.

## Why it happens
Kubernetes removes deprecated APIs after several releases, and the API server then has no mapping for kind plus old apiVersion. Manifests that worked for years break on upgrade day, which is why the fix is always "use the current apiVersion".
