Hi,  
I have a question:  
this it my yaml:

```auto
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: somename

```

and I got this:

> (inner-domain-328310)$ kubectl apply -f .  
> W0612 11:52:56.368885 624 gcp.go:120] WARNING: the gcp auth plugin is deprecated in v1.22+, unavailable in v1.25+; use gcloud instead.
