How to find the correct api version in Kubernetes?

I have a question about the usage of apiVersion in Kuberntes.

For example I am trying to deploy traefik 2.2.1 into my kubernetes cluster. I have a traefik middleware deployment definition like this:

---
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
  name: https-redirect
spec:
  redirectScheme:
    scheme: https
    permanent: true
    port: 443

When I try to deploy my objects with 

$ kubectl apply -f middleware.yaml

I got the following error message:

unable to recognize "middleware.yaml": no matches for kind "Middleware" in version "traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1"

The same object works fine with Traefik version 2.2.0 but not with version 2.2.1.

On the traefik documentation there is no example other the ones using the version "traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1"

I dont't hink that my deployment issue is specific to traefik. It is a general problem with conflicting versions. Is there any way how I can figure out which apiVersions are supported in my cluster environment?

There are so many outdated examples posted around using deprecated apiVersions that I wonder if there is some kind of official apiVersion directory for kubernetes? Or maybe there is some kubectl command which I can ask for apiversions?

Most probably crds for traefik v2 are not installed. You could use below command which lists the API versions that are available on the Kubernetes cluster.

kubectl api-versions | grep traefik
traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1

Use below command to check crds installed on the Kubernetes cluster.

kubectl get crds

Check traefik v1 vs v2 here

I found that if I just run the kubectl apply again after a few moments it will then work.
