Hi,  
i am following a mongodb tutorial on kubernetes but when i create the config map it gives me this error

` error: unable to recognize "mongo-configmap.yaml": no matches for kind "ConfigMap" in version "V1"`

this is the mongo-configmap.yaml file

```auto
    apiVersion: V1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: mongodb-configmap
    data:
      database_url: mongodb-service

```

Have you tried using lowercase _V_ (_v_) for the apiVersion?
