Error message

Could not find DeploymentResourceKind for 

What it means

DeploymentResourceKind.find maps an (apiGroup, apiVersion, kind) triple to a known enum constant for Kubernetes deployment resources (Deployment, StatefulSet, etc.). If no constant matches the requested group/version/kind, it throws IllegalArgumentException including the apiGroupVersion and kind.

Solutions

1. Set quarkus.kubernetes.deployment.kind to a supported value: Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, or Job
2. Fix typos and use the correct API version, e.g. apps/v1
3. Check DeploymentResourceKind's supported values in the Quarkus version you are using — newer kinds require newer Quarkus

Example fix

// before
quarkus.kubernetes.deployment.kind=DeploymentEXT
// after
quarkus.kubernetes.deployment.kind=Deployment

Set<String> allowed = Set.of("Deployment","StatefulSet","DaemonSet","Job");
if (!allowed.contains(configKind)) throw new IllegalArgumentException("unsupported kind: " + configKind);

static boolean isSupportedKind(String kind) {
    for (DeploymentResourceKind k : DeploymentResourceKind.values()) {
        if (k.name().equalsIgnoreCase(kind)) return true;
    }
    return false;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Requesting a deployment resource kind via quarkus.kubernetes.deployment.kind (or config in KubernetesConfig) whose group/version/kind is not one of the supported DeploymentResourceKind values.

Common situations: Typo in deployment.kind; targeting a resource kind not supported (e.g. 'ArgoCD' or 'Rollout'); version mismatch such as apps/v1beta1 instead of apps/v1.
